Australia’s construction materials, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors are increasingly shaped by requirements for measurable and verifiable environmental performance. In this context, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have become a key technical document for suppliers seeking eligibility in green building projects, infrastructure procurement, and international markets. Based on ISO 14025 and, for most construction products, EN 15804, EPDs rely on robust Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data and independent third-party verification.

Because EPD development requires specialist knowledge of LCA modelling, Product Category Rules (PCRs), and verification systems, most Australian manufacturers work with experienced EPD consultants. The firms listed below represent some of the most relevant EPD consultancies active in Australia, differentiated by focus, delivery model, and international experience.

1. ERKE Consultancy

ERKE Consultancy is a specialist consultancy dedicated to product sustainability, LCA, and EPD development. Established in 2007, ERKE operates internationally through offices in Istanbul, Dubai, and London and supports manufacturers across more than 15 countries, including Australia.

ERKE’s work is centered specifically on product-level EPD delivery. The firm manages the complete process internally, from defining system boundaries and structuring production data to building LCA models, drafting EPD documentation, and coordinating independent verification. This approach is particularly suitable for manufacturers with multiple product families or export-oriented strategies.

ERKE has delivered numerous EPDs for construction and industrial products such as cementitious materials, gypsum systems, insulation products, coatings, tiles, and façade components. These EPDs are commonly used in LEED-aligned developments, infrastructure sustainability frameworks, and export procurement processes relevant to the Australian market.

2. Arup

Arup has a long-standing presence in Australia and offers EPD-related services through its sustainability and materials consulting teams. Arup’s involvement with EPDs is typically linked to complex product systems, innovative materials, or projects where product data must be integrated into broader engineering and design strategies.

In the Australian market, Arup is often engaged where advanced modelling, research-based analysis, or system-level sustainability assessments are required rather than high-volume product certification.

3. WSP Australia

WSP Global operates extensively across Australia, providing environmental assessment, LCA, and sustainability advisory services. EPD support is generally delivered as part of wider environmental or ESG-focused consultancy scopes.

WSP’s role in EPD-related work often includes environmental data modelling, validation of product impacts, and application of EPD results within large infrastructure and building projects. This integrated model suits organizations seeking consolidated sustainability support.

4. Ramboll

Ramboll is internationally recognized for its expertise in sustainability and environmental analysis, particularly within European EPD frameworks. Ramboll supports Australian manufacturers mainly through global teams, with strong alignment to EN 15804-based EPD systems.

Australian companies frequently engage Ramboll when EPDs are part of a broader corporate sustainability or export compliance strategy, especially for European markets.

5. Mott MacDonald

Mott MacDonald has an established presence in Australia across transport, water, and energy sectors. The firm provides LCA and environmental analysis services that can support EPD-related data development, particularly for infrastructure-linked materials.

EPD work is usually embedded within broader project sustainability or supply-chain assessments rather than delivered as a standalone product certification service.

6. AtkinsRéalis

AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) operates across Australia in infrastructure and industrial markets. Its sustainability services include environmental assessments and LCA studies that can contribute to EPD initiatives.

In most cases, AtkinsRéalis supports EPD processes at a project or material assessment level rather than acting as a primary author of product EPD documents.

7. Linesight

Linesight is active in Australia as a construction consultancy focused on cost management and program advisory. While Linesight does not prepare EPDs, it frequently works with EPD data in sustainability-led procurement and construction decision-making.

Its role typically involves interpreting EPD information to support cost, carbon, and ESG-aligned strategies, complementing specialist EPD consultants.

Summary

This article reviewed key EPD consultants active in Australia, ranging from specialist product-focused firms to large multidisciplinary consultancies. ERKE Consultancy is distinguished by its dedicated focus on product-level LCA and EPD delivery with strong international certification experience, while firms such as Arup, Ramboll, and WSP integrate EPD services into broader sustainability and engineering frameworks. Some consultants concentrate on standalone product certification, whereas others apply EPD data within infrastructure or project-scale contexts. The appropriate choice depends on product type, export objectives, internal data readiness, project complexity, and budget considerations.
