Discover 4 GOOD Reasons for Building Materials to Engage with our LCA Quadrant Tool:
1. Specify Your Footprint for your customers!
Around 80% of Emissions are related to Raw Materials - Explore them!
By 2028, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) will come into effect, and architects will need to calculate the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) before their building permits are granted.
The EPBD is already applied in France, under RE2020, in the Netherlands, under MPG, in Denmark under BR17 and is expected in Brussels in 2025. To do so architects will use LCA Building Tools, for instance TOTEM in Belgium. These tools are linked to EPD-program databases and hence allow you to reach your specifiers with your EPD.
Through the publication of your LCA/EPD you specify your environmental footprint and secure your market further.
Enperas drafts EPDs according to all programs active in Benelux, France, the UK, Germany and the Nordics, doing so we offer our LCA & EPD services in accordance to your main markets.
2. The Green Claims Directive.
Fine of 4% if it is NOT supported with an Evidence...
The EU wants to stop all greenwashing and will therefore impose a fine of 4% of your revenue when you make a Green Claim that is NOT supported with an evidence, for instance it may be an LCA.
Have you covered all your claims with LCA?
An LCA helps you to identify what lifecycle stage, process or raw materials contributes the most and what environmental impacts are material for your product.
This will enable you to make a more correct environmental claim on your activities.
3. Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
An LCA can also be elaborated for an activity or for an entire company. Hence the result will show you what environmental topics are relevant for your activity that can be reported under the 5 ESRS categories with specific scientific KPI’s.
LCA allows you to elaborate on and audit your Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), provides reported KPIs, and indicates how to improve these impacts.
4. Aiding in Ecodesign.
As the LCA will identify your main contributors to your environmental impact, the path to sustainable development is clear.
Our LCA Quadrant Tool allows you to explore them and make profound sustainable development choices.
Doing so you will secure your customers stronger with an Ecodesigned EPD. You will be able to make a GREENER Claim and report better results in your next Corporate Sustainability Report.

Discover 4 GOOD Reasons for Chemicals to Engage with our LCA Quadrant Tool:
1. Raw Materials.
In 4 out of 5 LCA’s the result is dominated by the impact of the raw materials, hence when your customers choose to control their environmental impact they will need your impact data to be correct.
This is the very purpose of EPDs, it’s there to facilitate a correct B2B communication on environmental data.
Once your customers calculate and declare their EPD with values from your EPD, it is valid for 5 years, during which time you will secure your customers.

Our Environmental Product Declaration ( EPD ) service is valuable for the construction sector. Enperas registers EPDs in national databases, enabling architects, contractors, and builders to easily compare the environmental impact of different construction products and choose the most sustainable options.
Our EPD service is also beneficial for the chemical industry, as 70% of their environmental impacts are found upstream in the value chain ( scope III ). EPDs allow companies to easily exchange specific and accurate environmental data with their B2B customers. Therefore, EPDs allow building materials to be specified and secures markets for chemicals by providing high-quality data.
Our LCA Quadrant Tool [ Software as a Service (SaaS)], brings the Enperas' LCA expertise at your fingertips. The LCA Quadrant Tool also takes into account country- and product-specific regulations, allowing companies to quickly convert results for different markets without changing their input data.
