Welcome to EPN India, a core group of specialists from diverse domains united in our pursuit of environmental well-being, sustainability, and cutting-edge green technology. EPN India is a dynamic hub where industries, academia, experts, researchers, and consultants converge to engage in meaningful dialogues, fostering collaborative discussions to shape India’s greener and more sustainable future. We promote Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in Academic Organizations, Industries, and Research Institutions.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Health
We strongly believe that practical implementation of Life Cycle Assessment will help improve environmental health in India. Life cycle assessment or LCA (also known as life cycle analysis) is a methodology for assessing environmental impacts associated with all the stages of the life cycle of a commercial product, process, or service. Initial stages we are planning to promote Life Cycle Assessment in Academic Organizations, Industries, Government and Research Institutions.

What is Ecomark?
Ecomark is a certification mark issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for products which are ecologically safe and adheres to the standards prescribed by the BIS. It was first issued in 1991 by a resolution. It is issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. Products that meet the prescribed environmental criteria, as well as quality standards set by BIS, will be issued the ECOMARK label. EPN India encourages industries to apply for Ecomark and promote Ecomark in India.
