Stepwise environmental product declaration

Objective

The overall objective of this proposed CRAFT-project is to develop a method for stepwise environmental product declarations suitable for SMEs, so that also smaller companies can join emerging markets for "environmentally superior" products and services. Consumers and purchasers can make the difference through buying greener products. Their preference for environmentally friendly products is the major driving force for companies to reflect upon ways to green their products and win market shares through innovation and better design. Therefore environmental product declarations, HPDs, and other forms of credible eco-labelling are absolutely essential for an ecologically sustainable development. However, it is difficult and expensive for smaller companies to make an EPD, mainly because EPDs are based on life cycle assessment but also the need to involve stake holders and have a third party verify the data.
