CIC Completes EPD for Flooring Products – A Sustainable Export Solution

With expertise and over 35 years of development, CIC Technology and Consultancy JSC (CIC) continues to assert its leading position in providing sustainable solutions. Recently, CIC successfully consulted and completed the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for flooring products, opening up significant sustainable export opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises.

What is EPD and Why Does it Matter?

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a transparent, internationally recognized document that communicates verified data about the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle. This assessment is based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, complying with international standards such as ISO 14025 and EN 15804.

For the flooring industry, an EPD is not just a "green certificate" but a vital "passport" for entering demanding markets like the EU, US, and Japan, where environmental regulations and carbon taxes (such as CBAM) are becoming increasingly stringent.
