Project’s aim

INTEND project sought to develop and test an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) system, according to ISO TR 14025, that could be applied at an international level.  After a careful analysis of already existing EPD schemes, with particular attention paid to the Swedish and Italian experience, the project led to the definition of a new international EPD framework with its own coordination rules, harmonization principles, common logo, reporting format and product specific requirement (PSR) rules.

A prototype that will validate in operational industrial environment the technical, economic and environmental feasibility of LIFE HI4S for recovering waste heat from complex gas streams, REDUCING THE ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE EAF WITHIN THE STEEL MAKING INDUSTRY.
