While inspired by the functionality of the EC3 platform—which serves architects and designers—epd.world is purpose-built for manufacturers, industry associations, and program operators. The platform centralizes EPD workflows, enabling users to create, manage, and publish EPDs in a digital-first format, fully aligned with the openEPD® data schema.
Digital-First EPD Production
- Streamlined LCA and EPD workflow tools
- Import LCA results from any major tool (GaBi, OpenLCA, SimaPro)
- Output structured, machine-readable OpenEPD files
- Generate PDF EPDs automatically via openEPD formatting engine
- Replace manual templates, Word docs, and email threads
Best For:
Speeds up EPD development by up to 50% while improving consistency and traceability.
In-Platform Verification
- Streamlined LCA and EPD workflow tools
- Built-in verifier workflows eliminate fragmented communication
- Role-based access for LCA practitioners, verifiers, and program operators
- Real-time status tracking, version control, and audit trails
- Verifier dashboards and approval interfaces
Best For:
Reduces time-to-verification and increases transparency for all parties involved.
EPD Publication (Public + Premium Tiers) to the OpenEPD Database
- Central repository for verified EPDs using OpenEPD format
- Manufacturer-controlled publishing and data access
- Advanced benchmarking tools by PCR, category and region
- Usage tracking and optional gated EPD access
API integration for approved third-party tools
Best For:
A searchable, extensible database that gives producers visibility and control while enabling open data-sharing where desired
Through close collaboration with verifiers and program operators, WAP has incorporated digital verification tools directly into the platform, streamlining previously manual processes. epd.world builds upon lessons learned from prior platforms while introducing expanded functionality tailored to the unique needs of manufacturers and industry associations.
epd.world upgrades EPD creation with automation, workflow management, and seamless publication tools, delivering greater efficiency, accuracy, and scalability. epd.world changes the game in that you can automate LCA and EPD production with any program operator or any LCA software. Your integrations and efficiencies give you options for scaling without being LCA software or program operator (PO) dependent.
