1. What is ISO14025?
The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), also known as the Type III Environmental Declaration, is an internationally recognized publication based on ISO 14025, Environmental Labeling and Declaration - Type III Environmental Declaration - Principles and Procedures. It is provided by the supplier (via third-party testing, third-party verification and information announcement), and its green information announcement index is superior to the market access standard, highlighting the environmental green characteristics of the enterprise product and forming the core competitiveness of the market. It can help enterprises to cross the green threshold of the market, establish a green brand and improve market competitiveness. Through the life cycle optimization measures of raw material procurement, design and production, rational use of resources, waste reduction and recycling, we develop and produce environmentally friendly products, reduce product costs, and improve product quality and technology leadership. It reflects the long-term commitment of enterprises to improve environmental quality, conforms to the national sustainable development strategy, and is conducive to the sound development of enterprises. EPD's recognition in the European and American markets is very high, and it is in the ascendant in China. Take the US construction market as an example. 60% of architects and designers are familiar with LCA and product environmental statements. More than half of the designers have considered LCA research or EPD statements when screening products in past projects. The American building standard LEED V4 also clearly defines whether building products, materials such as paints, carpets, lamps, furniture, etc. have been LCA and EPD as the standard for scoring. In addition to construction, the US government has begun to request environmental information on products in consumer goods procurement and retailers; in the international market, the same green standard in the field of construction BREEAM (UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand) also has LCA analysis and EPD statement. The products provide additional points; in addition, the EU is active in the development of LCA and EPD. The Grenelle Environmental Act, which was introduced in France in 2007, requires all major consumer goods to provide EPD. The pilot has been completed and officially implemented. The EU's more ambitious product environmental footprint PEF program is designed to implement EPD across Europe. This program will cover almost all products consumed in the EU (including imports), which is a must for Chinese exporters. Good preparation for the rainy day. If enterprises can accurately grasp the opportunities and seize the opportunities, they will take the lead in setting benchmarks in China and master the magic weapon to open the European and American markets.
2. ISO14025III type environmental labeling features and three advantages
The environmental data is better than the access, the characteristics of the dynamic leading era, the extra points for international integration, the selection of excellent and medium-quality, the selection of high-quality and excellent prices, and the seamless integration of market quality.
1. Environmental data is better than access: At present, the safety and quality certification of many domestic products is mainly based on market access standards or other standards as the main basis for certification.

Therefore, the product that has obtained the green declaration of the Type III Environmental Labeling (EPD) is the green brand that is the best choice for the green product, and is the best choice for the product to obtain the world green card;
2. Additional points for international integration: At present, the United States, the European Union, and government procurement give extra points for the green declaration of the Type III Environmental Label (EPD). At present, the domestic bidding market has been trialled. Therefore, the green declaration of the Type III Environmental Label (EPD) is an advantage for enterprises to obtain additional points for domestic and foreign government procurement evaluation, which greatly enhances the core competitiveness of the enterprise;
3. Green hand-to-hand selling point: The new invention, new design, new technology, new materials, new technology, etc. of the product are the distinguishing features of the innovation era. It is an effective measure for the enterprise to win the market. It is also a feature of the Type III Environmental Label (EPD) over many other certifications. Because a product is a long process from development to the formation of industry standards and then to national standards, the Green Declaration of the Type III Environmental Label (EPD) is implemented. The green selling of the powerful grasping products market competition, the green grasp of the real-time selling point, fully reflects the characteristics of the era of mass entrepreneurship and innovation.
