From a research group in Gothenburg to a system for environmental product declarations used worldwide. Chalmers researchers in life cycle assessment played a key role in developing and spreading the use of the EPD system, which enables companies to report the environmental impact of their products in a standardised and credible way. Today, the system is used across a wide range of industries, demonstrating how research can make an impact far beyond academia.
