Granlatte has subjected the EPDs relating to Conventional Raw Cow's Milk and Organic Raw Cow's Milk to the CSQA verification process according to the PCR Dairy products.The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) reports the environmental performance relating to the life cycle of a product , allowing the communication of objective, comparable and credible information relating to the environmental performance of products and services.
CSQA carries out checks according to the International EPD® System Programme.
In order to validate the EPD, the declared environmental performances must comply with what is established in a document called PCR - Product Category Rules - where the rules for the implementation of the LCA study and the EPD declaration are dictated, relating to a specific category of product.
In addition to evaluating the environmental performance of products, the EPD provides useful data to reduce management and production costs , through the environmental/energy optimization that can arise from an analysis of this type.
The certification allows the visibility of the "EPD brand" on the product , as a credible communication and marketing tool.
