Because of Ecochain, we have significantly reduced the environmental impact of our products. As a result, we can now offer more sustainable safety footwear options to our customers.

Anne Jacobs

Sustainability Specialist at Allshoes

Until you put numbers behind your decisions, everything's an assumption, and it's difficult to say you are creating impact until you have numbers.

Brad Vanstone

CEO at Willicroft

Through Ecochain Helix we have the possibility to make the environmental footprint of all our asphalt mixtures - and make it transparent. This also allows us to convince our clients and partners to take sustainable steps.

Sven van Es

Project Coordinator Sustainability at Dura Vermeer Infra

Customers increasingly ask for different sustainability criteria. With Ecochain’s LCA software Mobius we now have extensive footprint reports for our shoe models, clearly outlining the impact from the production to the end of life phase.

Iris van Wanrooij

Program Manager CSR at EMMA SAfety Footwear

We started with a "box of data". But Ecochain Helix helped us turn our data into a sustainable story that helps us connect with our customers.

Jan-Willem van Loos

Co-owner at Studio Anneloes

Ecochain Helix has allowed us to print footprint decisions to the earliest stage of our planning process, allowing us to proactively plan more sustainable product lines vs. forcing us to react months after a review.

Cost-efficient verified EPD reports

* Average time according to our internal benchmark

From one EPD to your entire portfolio

No more inefficient one-by-one footprint calculations. From now on, make hundreds of footprints in a fraction of the time and cost. Ecochain Helix’s software makes it easy to generate LCAs covering all production , which can be turned into high quality EPDs for your entire product portfolio. Allowing mass verification for EPD platforms at a fraction of the cost and time.

Ecochain Helix - Your trusted ally

Activity-based footprinting

Ecochain Helix uses a unique allocation method. Activity-based footprinting first assigns an organization’s material and energy use to its production processes (activities) and then to its accurate related outputs: your products. After doing so, LCA algorithms conduct integrated environmental footprint calculations on your company, process, and product level.

Environmental footprints at scale

With Ecochain Helix, you can generate insights into the environmental performance of your entire product portfolio. Compare different products, and create hundreds of LCAs at once. Helix’s powerful approach enables mass verification, streamlining the process for large product portfolios.

Connect supply chain data

Connect with your suppliers on one platform to collectively aggregate all environmental data throughout your supply chain and drive sustainability improvements. This collaborative environment also facilitates the exchange of EPDs with your suppliers or customers, streamlining data sharing and transparency.

Reducing Costs as You Scale

Traditional EPD methods maintain high costs per declaration, while Ecochain Helix’s scalable solution drastically lowers costs with every additional EPD – to as low as €50 per EPD.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EPD?

Environmental Product Declaration reports are standardized, verified documents that transparently present credible information about a product’s impact on the environment. Following the ISO14025 standard (i.e., Type III Environmental Declaration), EPDs are useful for communication, comparison, and decision-making. EPDs are based on the information from a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study. The EPD report includes a summary of LCA results, environmental impact data, and other relevant information.

Do my competitors have an EPD?

Unfortunately, there isn’t a single, universal database to check competitor EPDs directly. However, we’ve got you covered! Eco Portal from Ecoplatform offers a helpful tool to see if your competitors have already created EPDs.

What’s the first step to take?

It is key to understand that there is no EPD without an LCA first. Simply put, LCAs are comprehensive environmental evaluations conducted according to ISO 14040/44 standards. Whereas, EPDs are shorter, simpler, and verified. The first step to take is to measure the environmental impact of your products. Ecochain Helix can help you assess the environmental footprint of your portfolio and ease the creation of EPDs with its semi-automatic EPD template.

Is an EPD externally verified?

Yes, an EPD is verified externally. This involves an independent LCA expert reviewing both the LCA report (the underlying data) and the EPD itself. This review ensures everything complies with the relevant Program Operator Instructions (POs), Product Category Rules (PCR), and established verification protocols. In simpler terms, a trusted third party double-checks the information to guarantee its accuracy and adherence to EPD creation guidelines. Ecochain will support you in the verification process with its verification partners.

Is it mandatory?

Future regulations like the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) acquis highlight the (eventual) mandatory integration of environmental declarations, including EPDs, into the Declaration of Performance (DoP) for construction products in Europe. This integration will begin in mid-2026 and will start with the Global Warming Potential indicator from the EN15804+A2 PCR. Concurrently, all construction product families must review their Harmonized Standards through a Standardization request. Once finalized, this information must be made into DoPs. By 2028, this information on construction products will be added to the Digitial Product Passport. In general, this regulation aims to deliver more sustainable (construction) products to European markets. EPDs extend their reach beyond construction, becoming increasingly relevant in other industries as well.
