Pioneering Environmental Product Declarations in the UAE – ERKE Sustainability Consultancy

Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) have rapidly become an essential tool in the construction and manufacturing industries, offering transparent and verified environmental data about building products. In the UAE—a region marked by rapid urban development and increasing environmental regulations—EPDs are gaining prominence. Leading this shift is ERKE Sustainability Consultancy, a Turkish-based firm now establishing itself as a trusted EPD consultant in the UAE.

Founded in 2007, ERKE has completed over 180 sustainability-focused projects and is now leveraging its expertise to support the UAE’s green building goals. Their work aligns seamlessly with the UAE’s net-zero commitments and the growing need for sustainable development, especially under frameworks like Estidama, LEED, and the Emirates Green Building Council.

As an EPD consultant, ERKE helps manufacturers and product developers prepare third-party verified EPDs in accordance with international standards such as EN 15804 and ISO 14025. Their deep understanding of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodologies and product category rules ensures that the EPDs they deliver meet the global transparency demands of today’s markets.

What sets ERKE apart is their comprehensive approach. They not only perform LCA modeling using advanced software but also support clients with data collection, stakeholder coordination, and submission to recognized EPD platforms like The International EPD System or EPD Australasia. Whether the client is producing aluminum panels, tiles, adhesives, or insulation, ERKE tailors its services to fit each product’s unique lifecycle.

ERKE’s presence in the UAE is also strategic. With Dubai and Abu Dhabi pushing for greener cities and more sustainable building practices, EPDs have become critical for product manufacturers aiming to enter large-scale construction projects. By facilitating the certification process, ERKE empowers companies to gain a competitive advantage in both regional and international markets.

Moreover, their work doesn’t stop at documentation. ERKE offers ongoing consultancy for product transparency, material health evaluations, and alignment with sustainability credits like LEED’s MRc2 and MRc3. This holistic support ensures long-term environmental responsibility and helps clients contribute meaningfully to the circular economy.

With a growing portfolio in the UAE and a firm foundation in sustainability sciences, ERKE is setting the bar for EPD consultancy in the Gulf region. Their vision is not only to support companies in obtaining certifications but to build a future where transparency, efficiency, and sustainability are embedded into every product and project.

In a world increasingly shaped by ESG standards, green procurement, and carbon accounting, having a reliable EPD consultant is more than a business asset—it’s a necessity. ERKE Sustainability Consultancy stands ready to help businesses in the UAE rise to this challenge with confidence, clarity, and credibility.
