Greenex Environmental Partners With Norway’s EPD Global

Pune-based Greenex Environmental has entered a strategic collaboration with Norway’s EPD Global to expand Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) services for Indian manufacturers. The partnership aims to strengthen sustainability reporting, improve market readiness and enhance global competitiveness, especially for export-oriented industries and MSMEs.

MoU To Provide High-Quality EPD Certification

Under the memorandum of understanding, Greenex Environmental will assess the environmental impact of products manufactured in India, while EPD Global will publish the final Environmental Product Declarations. This arrangement combines Norwegian certification expertise with strong Indian technical capabilities, ensuring internationally compliant, transparent product-impact reporting for manufacturers.

Support For MSMEs And Export Growth

The partnership is expected to benefit Indian MSMEs and larger sectors such as engineering, chemicals, metals and food processing. With global buyers increasingly preferring products backed by environmental declarations, EPDs will help Indian firms meet international procurement norms, boost credibility and gain access to higher-value markets. The collaboration is projected to cut EPD certification costs by nearly 70%, making these services far more accessible.

Aligned With India’s Sustainability Vision

The initiative supports India’s broader transition towards low-carbon, sustainable manufacturing. As countries tighten environmental norms, EPDs are becoming integral to demonstrating responsible production and meeting emerging global standards. The partnership is also expected to create skilled employment in environmental assessment and accelerate the shift towards cleaner industrial practices.
