Enperas: expert in eco-footprint assessments

Know-how is embedded in our DNA

The importance of ecological footprints is on the rise, and so is the demand for life cycle assessments (LCAs) and their resulting environmental product declarations (EPDs). To respond to this growing demand, Enperas was established as a spin-off by two major players:

The Result:

Enperas relies on decades of experience in conducting LCAs for industry players as well as providing advice on sustainable construction to policy makers – on the regional, federal and European level.

Customer intimacy drives our business forward

To make sure that we truly live up to this ambition, Enperas taps into the broad experience of its CEO and founder Luc Plancke – whose career is centred around market-driven product development and research.

Prior to joining Enperas, Luc worked for 15 years at leading building materials firms Saint-Gobain Construction and Etex. At the first company, he fulfilled the roles of product manager and sustainable development manager. At the latter, he was responsible for product management, corporate social responsibility, business development, compliance and market-oriented research and development (R&D).

In both roles, Luc was the driving force behind the development of multiple products. What’s more, he contributed to gypsum boards becoming Cradle2Cradle and elaborated multiple LCAs and EPDs.

Even more, Luc sat on the board of the German EPD program IBU and co-developed an LCA tool with VITO that helps tackle the environmental compliance and ambitions of building material manufacturers that export their portfolios.
