What is the purpose of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)?

To outline the market strategy for a product
To provide a summary of a product's features
To assess the price competitiveness of a product
To report a product's environmental impact through a life-cycle assessment

The correct answer is: To report a product's environmental impact through a life-cycle assessment

The purpose of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is to report a product's environmental impact based on a comprehensive life-cycle assessment. EPDs provide transparent and verified information regarding various environmental aspects of a product, such as resource consumption, energy use, emissions, and waste generation throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction through manufacturing, distribution, use, and disposal. This information helps stakeholders make informed decisions regarding the environmental performance of products, contributing to more sustainable building and design practices. The other options, while potentially related to product marketing or features, do not capture the primary focus of an EPD. They do not emphasize the comprehensive evaluation of environmental impacts that an EPD is designed to convey. Therefore, the correct choice highlights the essential role of EPDs in promoting environmental responsibility in product selection.
