EPD training with openLCA gives practitioners the specialist skills to build compliant Environmental Product Declarations from scratch. In practice, EPDs are increasingly required across construction, manufacturing and procurement. Even so, producing one demands more than general LCA knowledge.
The course combines theory with a practical case study, walking participants through each stage of the EPD process. Before the session, participants can tell us their preferred programme operator, product category rules and product of interest. As a result, the training reflects actual work rather than a generic example.
Below280 is a specialist LCA consultancy and the official UK partner for GreenDelta. In addition, EPD development and verification is central to what we do, giving us practical insight that goes beyond the software itself. For that reason, participants benefit from real-world experience as well as technical training.
