Our support for the development of FDES

Our mission

Supporting companies in the development of reliable Environmental Product Declarations (FDES), compliant with environmental and health standards, in order to transparently enhance the value of their products through high-quality data and within agreed timelines.

Who is our support intended for ?

Pour les fabricants, prescripteurs et professionnels du bâtiment, souhaitant des FDES fiables et conformes pour leurs matériaux et produits de construction.

Our expertise in the development of your FDES

At WeLOOP, we place your needs at the heart of our expertise. Depending on the nature of your product and your objectives, we adapt our approach. We provide several types of Environmental Product Declarations (FDES).

FDES
of a product range

Objective
To provide a detailed description of the environmental impact of a product and its closely related variants, in order to facilitate technical management without multiplying the number of declarations.

Target audience
Specifiers, architects, and design offices seeking precise technical information on a product and its variants.

FDES
individual

Objective
To provide precise information on the environmental and health impacts of a single product for regulatory compliance and impact calculations in projects.

Target audience
Specifiers, architects, and design offices seeking detailed technical information on a specific product.

FDES
collective

Objective
To simplify reporting and enable product comparability at the level of a category or an entire product range.

Target audience
Project owners, specifiers, and design offices seeking to assess an entire product category without multiplying individual declarations.

Our process for developing FDES

Initial meeting with the client : We begin with a discussion to understand your needs, the type of product concerned, and your LCA and FDES objectives. This step allows us to define the project scope and set expectations.
Preparation and submission of the quotation : We prepare a detailed quotation, including the type of FDES (range, individual, or collective), the scope of the study, and the expected timeline.
Preparation and submission of the quotation : We prepare a detailed quotation, including the type of FDES (range, individual, or collective), the scope of the study, and the expected timeline.

Preparation of the data collection file:  We prepare a structured file to collect all the information required for the LCA: raw materials, manufacturing processes, transport, end-of-life scenarios, etc.
Support for data collection:  We guide the client through the data collection process to ensure completeness and accuracy. This step is essential to obtain reliable results.
Validation of the data collection file: We check the file to ensure consistency and balance of flows (material balance). This helps identify and correct any errors before modeling. This step is iterative.

Modélisation du cycle de vie : Les données vérifiées sont intégrées dans notre logiciel expert pour réaliser la simulation complète du cycle de vie du produit.
Export et présentation des résultats : Les indicateurs sont extraits et présentés au client pour validation. Cette étape permet de s’assurer que les résultats correspondent aux attentes et à la réalité du produit.

Rédaction du rapport et de la FDES : Nous rédigeons le rapport d’accompagnement et générons la FDES, prête pour sa publication ou sa communication.
Accompagnement à la vérification : Enfin, nous assistons le client lors du processus de vérification externe afin de garantir la conformité et la validité de la FDES.

WeLOOP supported ROCKWOOL in conducting Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPD/FDES) across several European markets, including France.

Based on comprehensive life cycle assessments (LCAs), these declarations quantify environmental impacts across the entire life cycle and support sustainable construction and RE2020 compliance.

ROCKWOOL, a global leader in stone wool, develops high-performance and durable insulation solutions for the construction industry.

WeLOOP supported FOAMGLAS® (Owens Corning) in the development of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs—FDES, B-EPD, NMD-EPD), based on life cycle assessments (LCAs), in order to transparently communicate environmental impacts.

FOAMGLAS® develops high-performance insulation solutions for the building and industrial sectors, improving energy efficiency, comfort, and safety.

We have developed and updated Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), including FDES, for Vallourec, a leader in premium tubular solutions (OCTG, line pipe, and integrated solutions). Based on life cycle assessments (LCAs), these declarations quantify environmental impacts across the entire life cycle and support the group’s sustainability commitments.

These solutions, recognized for their reliability and durability, are used in critical sectors such as energy, oil and gas, and industrial infrastructure.

For its main European markets, AGC Glass, a global leader in flat glass, developed Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs—FDES, IBU EPD, and NMD-EPD) in collaboration with WeLOOP. Based on comprehensive life cycle assessments (LCAs), these declarations enable the quantification and communication of environmental impacts across the entire life cycle using harmonised and verified data.

The Fineo, Pyrobel, and Pyrobel T products stand out for their performance: Fineo offers high-efficiency vacuum insulating glazing, while Pyrobel provides fire protection with transparency. They are used in both new construction and renovation projects for a wide range of architectural applications.
