Motor & pump dominance (A1–A3)
Drive components account for ~38% of product-stage GWP. Supplier engagement queued.
EPAS make GreaseShield and FilterShield grease-management systems for commercial kitchens — ~150 components per unit, complex in-use stages, dispatched globally. KEES took them from bill-of-materials to five verified Environmental Product Declarations using OneClick LCA — component-by-component, with no shortcut groupings to make the numbers easier.
Independent third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations published.
Average number of individually-modelled components per product. No grouping shortcuts.
Verified EPDs typically take 12–18 months. EPAS's complete portfolio shipped in under 6.
EPAS were losing tenders for not having published EPDs — and didn't have a year to wait.
GreaseShield and FilterShield aren't simple steel boxes — they're integrated grease-management systems with motors, controls, sensors, filtration media and a long in-use phase that dominates the lifecycle. Ignoring component-level detail would have produced numbers their commercial team couldn't defend.
The brief was uncompromising: five SKUs, individually verified, no grouping shortcuts, in time for a procurement window that wouldn't slip. Speed mattered, but so did defensibility — these EPDs have to survive scrutiny from spec writers across hospitality, healthcare and education estates.
Most consultancies would have proposed a 'representative product' approach — one EPD covering a family. KEES proposed five. Faster, because of how we sequenced the modelling — not because of shortcuts.
Compact grease recovery — single bay kitchen.
Mid-range model. Most common SKU across estates.
Multi-bay institutional — schools, hospitals.
Particulate & odour filtration for canopy systems.
High-throughput filtration for production kitchens.
Every motor, sensor, plate, gasket and casing modelled separately — not lumped into 'subassemblies'. Bid teams can defend any line item.
B6 operational energy is 46% of impact — the largest module. Modelled with site-typical duty cycles, not nameplate.
Common library of components built once, then composed into each SKU. That's why the schedule held.
Drive components account for ~38% of product-stage GWP. Supplier engagement queued.
Casing grade has a 1.4× swing on embodied carbon. Spec'd grade kept; recycled-content sourcing engaged.
Use-phase consumables are non-trivial. EPDs flag this clearly to specifiers — no surprise in operation.
B6 modelled with site-typical duty cycles, not nameplate. Verifier appreciated; bids strengthened.
Inventory built once, reused across all 5 SKUs and into the next product line. Permanent capability.
EPDs paired with one-page summaries the EPAS commercial team can drop into every spec response.
EPDs go slowly because every product is treated as a fresh start. We treat the portfolio as a system: model the components once, with rigour, then assemble.
Every component across the 5 SKUs catalogued. Common parts identified — about 70% overlap between products.
Each unique component modelled once, with primary supplier data where available, generic secondary data otherwise — flagged.
Each EPD composed from the library. Internal QA before verifier engagement — no surprises in the audit.
Third-party verifier engaged early so questions surface in time. All five passed first-round with minor clarifications.
EPAS keep the OneClick model and the component library. Next product launch starts at 70%, not 0%.
We were told this would take a year. KEES delivered five verified EPDs in under six months, on products with ~150 components apiece, without taking the easy way out on the modelling. Our spec teams now win on sustainability, not just price.
We've shipped verified EPDs in 6 months on products most consultancies quote 18 for. Tell us your portfolio & deadline — we'll tell you what's actually possible.
