Building Credible Material Claims: A Hands-On Workshop on LCA, EPDs and Ecolabels

​Construction startups increasingly face questions like “Do you have an EPD?”, “Is this GRIHA or IGBC compliant?”, or “Do you have any ecolabel certifications?”

​Yet most early-stage material innovators don’t have clarity on what each of these labels means, how they differ, or when they’re required.

​This hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop demystifies LCA, EPDs, ecolabels, and environmental claims for founders building next-generation construction materials. Through interactive exercises, real examples, and small-group activities, participants learn how to build credible claims, avoid common mistakes, and prepare for the expectations of architects, developers, consultants, and procurement teams.

​No prior LCA or certification knowledge is needed.
