EPDs on autopilot

Automate data collection, scale EPDs to thousand of products, and get real insights based on YOUR data, not proxies.

The problem with EPDs today

Environmental Product Declarations can deliver important operational insights and be a competetive advantage, but more often than not, they become a compliance burden.

Prohibitively expensive

Traditional EPDs cost €3,000 to €15,000+ per product, driven by consultant hours and manual data collection. For companies with large portfolios, costs scale out of reach.

Highly manual

Data collection, LCA modelling, and third-party verification require dozens of hours per SKU, and the whole process repeats every time a product or supplier changes.

No value across the organisation

EPD outputs live in PDFs. They don't flow to procurement, sales, compliance, or design, so the sustainability effort creates a document, not capability.

Quality versus Scale

Today you either chose between quality data and build complex academic models with proper dataset modelling, or you scale manually using proxies.

Estimate savings

Estimate time and cost savings vs modelling EPDs manually in traditional tools (e.g. OneClickLCA-style workflows). Savings compound as your product data, supplier inputs, and templates get reused.

Why the curve accelerates

The first EPDs are always the hardest: you align method choices, structure the data model, and collect missing supplier inputs. Once that foundation exists, each additional EPD benefits from reusable datasets, templates, and automated data flows, so the marginal time saved increases with scale.

  • Reuse BOM and material libraries across product families

  • Automate supplier follow-ups and audit trail logging

  • Keep models aligned as products and suppliers change

  • Generate declarations from the same verified method setup

Managed or self-managed

Choose the setup that matches your internal capability and how quickly you want to go live.

Managed

We help you build all the data according to ISO 14044 standards, run the verification process and deliver a finished EPD generator. All you need to do is deliver the data we need.

  • ISO 14044-aligned data structure and modelling support

  • Verification process guidance and coordination

  • A finished EPD generator you can run repeatedly

Self-managed

You have internal LCA specialists that need a more modern flow. We onboard you onto the tool, so you are fully equipped to build the EPD generator yourself.

  • Onboarding to the EPD workflow and templates

  • Best-practice structure for repeatable, audit-ready modelling

  • A modern, scalable flow for internal specialists

Verify the methodology once. Scale to your full portfolio without linear cost growth.

3+

Teams that benefit

Sales, procurement, compliance, and design all work from the same structured sustainability data.

Dawn makes EPDs a by-product of your existing data

You already have the data. It just needs to modelled. The tool and methodology are verified once. From there, AI agents collect data, run models, and produce declarations from the same product truth your team already maintains. All of it with full audit trail.

Connected to your existing data

Dawn pulls directly from your BOMs, material library, and supplier records. No manual exports and no disconnected spreadsheets; the model starts where your product data lives.

Verified methodology

Studies follow ISO 14040/44, ISO 14025, and EN 15804. You verify the tool and the methodology once; from there, every EPD is consistent and audit-ready.

Value that compounds across the org

Sustainability data embedded in your product records, not a one-off PDF. Sales can answer customer questions. Procurement can compare suppliers. Compliance can file declarations.

Onboarding

Verified in 3 months

A clear onboarding timeline to connect data, structure the model, and complete verification so you can go live with an EPD generator.
