Understand your product’s environmental impact. Demonstrate it with confidence.
Assess environmental performance throughout the product life cycle and communicate results through recognised methodologies and independently verified Environmental Product Declarations. At INNOVECO International, we provide specialist LCA, EPD and Whole Life Carbon Assessment services, supporting manufacturers, construction businesses and organisations seeking reliable product-level environmental information.
Environmental performance across the entire life cycle
Understanding a product’s environmental footprint is becoming increasingly important for manufacturers, suppliers, developers and organisations participating in environmentally demanding supply chains.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts associated with a product, process or service across defined life cycle stages, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use and end-of-life management, where included within the study boundaries.
Our team provides technically robust assessments based on internationally recognised methodologies, helping organisations understand environmental hotspots, support product development and communicate environmental performance.
Our LCA & EPD services
01
Product Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Comprehensive environmental assessments following ISO 14040 and ISO 14044, tailored to the product, intended application and study objectives.
02
Environmental Product Declarations (EPD)
Preparation of EPD documentation in accordance with ISO 14025 and the applicable Product Category Rules (PCR), including relevant sector-specific requirements.
03
Construction Product EPDs – EN 15804
Life cycle modelling and EPD development for construction products in accordance with applicable EN 15804 requirements.
04
Product Carbon Footprints
Assessment of greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product throughout its defined life cycle, using recognised product carbon footprint methodologies.
05
Whole Life Carbon Assessments
Assessment of embodied and operational carbon impacts across defined building or infrastructure life cycle stages, applying relevant assessment methodologies and project requirements.
06
Independent EPD Verification Support
Preparation of supporting documentation and coordination of the independent verification and publication process with the selected EPD programme operator.
From product data to verified environmental information
An effective LCA or EPD project requires accurate product information, sound methodological choices and transparent documentation.
We support the complete assessment process, including:
- Definition of study objectives, scope and system boundaries
- Identification of relevant product standards and category rules
- Collection and evaluation of primary and secondary data
- Life cycle inventory development and environmental impact modelling
- Interpretation of results and identification of environmental hotspots
- Preparation of technical reports and EPD documentation
- Coordination of independent verification and publication, where required
Our approach
Define the Scope

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an LCA and an EPD?
An LCA assesses environmental impacts across a defined life cycle. An EPD communicates selected environmental information using a standardised declaration format, based on relevant assessment rules and independent verification requirements.
Can you prepare EPDs for construction products?
Yes. We support construction product EPDs in accordance with applicable ISO and EN standards, including EN 15804 and the relevant Product Category Rules.
Can you arrange independent EPD verification?
We can support and coordinate the independent verification process through an appropriate external verifier and programme operator.
Can you assess several similar products?
Yes. We can discuss multi-product assessments and appropriate modelling approaches, depending on the products, applicable rules and data availability.
Understand and communicate your product’s environmental performance
Whether you need an LCA, a product carbon footprint, an EPD or a Whole Life Carbon Assessment, our specialists can help define the most appropriate approach.
