R<THINK SHARE

Make your EPD data ready for digital exchange

R<THINK SHARE helps you move from static EPD documents to structured, machine-readable environmental data. It creates machine-readable EPDs from Life Cycle Assessments made in R<THINK LCA and enables secure sharing with other applications through an API.

With R<THINK SHARE, your EPD data can be used beyond the PDF: in software tools, data platforms, Digital Product Passport workflows, and publication processes.

What is R<THINK SHARE?

R<THINK SHARE is an extension of the R<THINK suite. It allows companies to calculate and prepare EPDs in R<THINK LCA, then share the resulting EPD data in a machine-readable format with other systems.

Users can create their own collections and decide per collection who gets access, for how long and which system is allowed to connect. This gives manufacturers and data owners practical control over how their EPD data is shared.

Why it matters

Environmental product data is becoming more digital, more connected, and more important for compliance. Manual copying from PDFs or Excel exports into other systems is slow and error-prone.

R<THINK SHARE takes away this manual work by making EPD data directly available in a structured format. The platform focuses on digitising EPDs, preventing manual data-entry errors, and managing access flexibly.

Key benefits

Machine-readable EPD's

Create machine-readable EPD's directly from LCA made in R<THINK LCA.

Share creates a machine-readable EPD, which contains the same information as a standard EPD as these are published on EPD Programs. No confidential information included, just the public EPD data. R<THINK Share allows sharing to trusted parties directly and does not require that the EPD is published publicly before

API-based data sharing

Share environmental data with external applications through API access, supporting easier integration with software (eco)systems:

  • Digital Product Passport providers

  • BIM software, like Autodesk Platform Services

  • ERP systems

  • datapools such as 2BA or IB Data

  • Excel and Power BI

  • publication routes such as EPD programs and Ecoplatform

Built for standards-based EPD exchange

R<THINK SHARE uses a future-proof, standards-based data format for EPD and Digital Product Passport exchange. The format is built on ISO 22057 and completed with ILCD+EPD data points, NMD requirements, and additional EPD format requirements. The format supports:

  • ISO 22057 for EPD-for-BIM and future digital exchange

  • ILCD+EPD for European EPD data exchange

  • NMD-related fields for Dutch environmental data requirements

  • JSON-based sharing through the API

  • PDF report access through the API where needed

One format connects EPDs, Digital Product Passports, and software ecosystems.

Secure collection management

Create collections, link EPDs to one or more collections, and manage access per collection.

  • Access can be managed through API tokens per application. Tokens can be revoked, and deleted collections invalidate related tokens.

  • Webhook notifications can inform connected applications about updates or unpublished EPDs.

How it works

1. Create and freeze your LCA

The LCA is prepared in R<THINK LCA. When the calculation is ready, it can be frozen and sent to R<THINK SHARE. Upon 3rd party verification a calculation is automatically frozen.

2. Generate machine-readable EPD data

R<THINK SHARE creates structured EPD data from the LCA output.

3. Publish to collections

Users create collections, such as public, internal, or customer-specific collections, and link EPDs to one or more of them.

4. Connect applications

External applications can connect to selected collections using API tokens and webhooks.

5. Keep control

Access can be revoked, tokens can expire, and connected applications can be notified when data changes.

Prepare for the digital future and make your EPD data usable beyond the PDF
