Eco Choice Aotearoa Expands Services Through Partnership with Edge Impact
Edge Impact, Australasia’s leading provider of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) is proud to announce a new partnership with Eco Choice Aotearoa, the official ecolabel trademarked by the Ministry for the Environment.
This collaboration will enhance sustainability initiatives by offering comprehensive Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and EPDs to businesses across New Zealand.
Eco Choice Aotearoa has been a pioneer in sustainability for over three decades, providing trusted ecolabel certifications. Now, in collaboration with Edge Impact, ECA is expanding its services to deliver deeper insights and actionable business intelligence through LCAs and EPDs.
Edge Impact, known for completing 40% of Australasia’s EPDs, brings a wealth of expertise and a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and challenges within various industries. Their experience ensures that businesses receive robust, transparent, and credible environmental impact data.
Transitioning to Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) builds on Eco Choice Aotearoa’s foundation by providing detailed, verified data on environmental impacts. This partnership with Edge Impact supports businesses in this transition, offering enhanced credibility and market differentiation.
Partnering with the Eco Choice label makes a lot of sense for us. We’re committed to helping product manufacturers understand their product impacts and communicate this effectively to their clients.
Eco Choice already assists many New Zealand based businesses through its Eco-label program. Together, we can offer more options and guide them on their product certification and transparency journey.
David Maucor, Regional Principal - New Zealand
The partnership combines the assurance of a Type 1 ecolabel, the detailed business intelligence of an LCA, and the transparency of an EPD, all under one trusted provider with a 30-year legacy.
This integration will simplify the process for businesses striving for sustainability, who can build on the work already completed through their Eco-label certification with Eco Choice, to progress towards an LCA or EPD.
Eco Choice Aotearoa and Edge Impact are committed to helping organisations minimise their environmental impact, to ensure a thriving motu for future generations.
There’s no one-size fits all approach when it comes to sustainability, and by expanding our services, we’re now able to support businesses at each step of their journey - providing honest advice on what they need, and what they don’t.
