Key element of the Government’s market transformation policy is to ensure the availability and accessibility of information on the environmental performance of consumer products and traded goods.

This is because information on environmental performance underpins most major policy measures, including mandatory labelling, minimum standards, voluntary agreements, fiscal measures, green procurement and a number of other initiatives to encourage more reliable consumer information.

UK EPIC, the United Kingdom Environmental Product Information Consortium, is a forum to provide access to reliable public domain product information to a growing number of third parties that work on the development, implementation and assessment of policy measures. The product information captured on the UK EPIC database therefore offers benefits for all those striving to improve the resource efficiency of consumer goods and traded goods in the UK.

This website provides a publicly accessible, searchable information base on the environmental performance of consumer products and traded goods. Users can search for products and sort them by particular criteria. The website also allows users to download complete datasets for further analysis and Partners can submit further data for publication on UK EPIC.
