Status: pending real data

EPD costs vary widely by product complexity, whether a consultant is used, and whether it's a product-specific or industry-average EPD — general industry discussion cites a wide range, but nothing precise enough to publish as fact without checking current figures directly with consultants and program operators. This page is a placeholder for that data.

What this page will cover

  • Cost ranges broken out by product-specific vs. industry-average EPDs
  • Cost ranges by product complexity (simple single-material products vs. complex assemblies)
  • What’s typically included (LCA modeling, PCR licensing, verification fees, program operator registration) vs. billed separately
  • DIY/software-driven cost vs. full-service consultant cost

See What Does an EPD Cost? for the qualitative version of this — what drives cost up or down — while this page’s actual figures are pending.
