Emidat

Emidat offers a software platform for construction and building material manufacturers to collect product and production data, calculate environmental impacts, and generate third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). The product covers data processing (including integration with ERP and energy management systems via API, with automated data matching and recommendations), visual analysis of a product's environmental footprint by input material and lifecycle stage, and automated generation and publication of standard-compliant EPDs. Users set up a plant, scope a product's lifecycle, and the platform calculates and visualises impacts before producing a verified EPD.

The platform supports bulk generation of EPDs across a manufacturer's portfolio, automatic translation of EPDs to comply with local norms in markets such as Germany, France and Norway, and output formats spanning PCF, LCA and EPD. It also targets compliance needs arising from the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR), including issuance of a Digital Product Passport (DPP). Emidat states that its EPD platform and the EPDs it generates are verified by independent third-party verifiers, and that customer data is stored on European servers with manufacturers controlling what environmental data is published. Manufacturers select a publishing partner according to their target market at release.

The company positions its approach against the conventional EPD workflow, which it describes as a 6-12 month process costing roughly EUR 12,000 per EPD and requiring coordination among consultants, external verifiers and program operators; Emidat presents itself as a single interface for data collection and automated EPD generation, claiming time and cost reductions of over 70%.

Business model

Software-as-a-service sold to building material manufacturers, with EPD generation offered under an annual license that covers an unlimited number of EPDs at a fixed annual fee rather than per-document consultancy pricing.

Fixed annual license fee for platform access and unlimited EPD generation.

Traction

The website names building material manufacturers using the platform, including Schwenk Building Materials, Sika, Knauf Interfer, Triflex, Rodeca, Object Carpet and Stiebel Eltron, with testimonials from sustainability and marketing leaders at several of them.

Latest developments

Published resources cover an EPD Global Grant of up to EUR 18,000 toward implementing an EPD tool, guidance on Italy's CAM regulations for international companies bidding on public contracts, and the full list and timeline of CPR environmental indicators.
