How to use the EPD tool

Manufacturers aiming for an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) may find the process complex if there is no EPD tool to use. Here’s a practical step-by-step guide of using the EPD tool generated by us(SKYCO2):
1. LCA Data Collection
Compile raw-material use, energy consumption, emissions, and supplier data into the platform. SKYCO2 centralizes multi-source inputs to avoid manual errors.
2. Define Model Boundaries
Set up LCA boundaries: cradle-to-gate, cradle-to-grave, or custom scopes. The tool supports customizable scenarios and sensitivity analysis—tailoring to ISO 14025 requirements.
3. Run LCA Calculations
The system calculates carbon footprints across multiple environmental metrics—GWP, water usage, ozone depletion—leveraging integrated databases for accuracy.
4. Generate EPD Report
With one click, an ISO 14025–compliant EPD report is generated, including uncertainty analysis and multi-metric results. It’s ready for submission to EPD registries.
5. Publish & Disclose
Export the report and publish on marketplaces, tender submissions, and public EPD databases to support green procurement bids.
Over 2,000 companies, including metal, electronics, packaging, and automotive sectors, have leveraged our platform to streamline EPD generation, gain audit-ready documentation, and improve eco-credentials.

Conclusion

Transitioning from manual spreadsheets to automated EPD workflows cuts time, reduces errors, and enhances credibility. It’s a smart investment in future-proof compliance.

The final EU CBAM transition period reporting window is closing, the last drill before "taxation and compliance" phase; transition needs quarterly reports without payment, full phase requires carbon tariffs with reduced free allowances, dual responsibilities, mandatory verification, stricter penalties; enterprises confirm 6 products, strengthen data traceability, cooperate with EU importers.

The core of EUDR compliance is establishing a low-cost and confidential evidence system, following the data minimization principle. It requires providing necessary data around three core issues, clarifying data boundaries and transmission norms, and avoiding compliance and confidentiality misunderstandings.
