Case Study: Mapei builds in-house LCA expertise and accelerates EPD generation with Sphera

Mapei - Customer Case Study

Mapei, the Milan‑based global leader in adhesives and chemical products for construction, needed to provide reliable Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) (ISO 14025), assess product performance during design, cut EPD development costs, and create clear sustainability messaging for its supply chain and customers. To meet these challenges Mapei engaged Sphera for its LCA expertise and tools, including the GaBi LCA software, high‑quality LCI databases and sustainability consulting services.

Sphera helped Mapei build an internal LCA team and provided GaBi, representative databases and ongoing consulting so the company could run design comparisons, quickly produce certified EPDs for bids, and integrate Life Cycle Thinking into R&D. As a result, LCT is now a strategic pillar at Mapei, enabling improved product environmental performance, competitive advantages in markets and tenders, significant savings on EPD projects, and new communication opportunities with stakeholders — all delivered with Sphera’s software and support.
