The partners and collaborators of Acodea participate in different ways in the dissemination of standardized methodologies for environmental assessment within the technical and business sector.
Acodea EPD Program
The Environmental Footprint Institute has launched its Environmental Product Declarations Program, called the “Acodea EPD Program” to facilitate and promote objective analysis and transparent communication of environmental impacts associated with the life cycle of products and services.
Establishing Product Category Rules
One of the main tasks of Acodea is the coordination in the rulemaking that will be used in the Acodea EPD Program to develop Environmental Declarations. These rules, known as PCR, are the common framework that is established for each type of product, and that allows the Environmental Declarations of similar products to be comparable between one another.
PCRs are developed by experts in Life Cycle Analysis and industry experts, and can be reviewed by any interested party during the development process. If you want to participate in any of the PCRs that are currently in development, get in touch with us.

All Environmental Product Declarations and Environmental, Water or Carbon Footprints developed within the Acodea EPD Program are public and can be consulted from our search engine.
