Market demands for disclosing the environmental impacts of products throughout their "Life Cycle" are increasing. Therefore, manufacturers need to transparently report the environmental performance or impact of their products to buyers and decision-makers, enabling informed purchasing decisions. Environmental Product Declarations (WEPDs) allow manufacturers to present the entire sustainability story of a product in a single comprehensive report. A Universal Environmental Product Declaration (WEPD) submitted to SUSCERT also includes other product impacts such as land use changes, potential toxicity risks, or corporate environmental initiatives. Furthermore, it serves as a study that verifies and certifies the entire life cycle of the product.
The WEPD® Universal Environmental Product Declaration System is particularly designed for the construction, railway, textile, and electrical-electronic sectors. It is based on EN ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards and is one of the third-party verification and certification services provided by SUSCERT®.
All product data transferred to the digital platform is associated with self-declarations published in the WEPD® Universal Environmental Product Declaration System. This approach allows the environmental impacts of products to be communicated in a quantitative, reliable, comparable, and understandable manner, based on a predefined communication format. The system primarily covers products such as building materials, electrical components, railway and transportation materials, and textiles.
Participation in the WEPD® Universal Environmental Product Declaration System is entirely voluntary. Only manufacturers of products with no environmental impact, verified and certified, can declare their products through this system and share their WEPDs with the public.
SUSCERT provides a leading standard verification and certification system for the independent, third-party validation of Environmental Product Declarations, offering economic and sustainable solutions.
Products verified and certified by SUSCERT receive globally recognized "Environmental Product Declaration" certification. This certification is widely accepted by all players in the global market and international trade.
