Software
Theta Core is WAP Sustainability’s web-based LCA generation software for manufacturers that need to manage product footprints and EPD workflows at scale. It sits between internal data systems and LCA engines, turning scattered ERP or PLM records into repeatable workflows for LCAs, PCFs and EPR reporting. Companies can start with manual, services-backed projects and grow into semi- or fully-integrated automation as data maturity improves. It suits portfolios where regulation and buyer requests are rapidly evolving. By connecting to openEPD and epd.world, Theta Core helps organizations move from one-off studies to a consistent, digital-first pipeline for product transparency.
epd.world is WAP Sustainability’s workflow management platform for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), built for manufacturers, industry associations and program operators rather than designers or specifiers. It centralizes creation, verification and publication so teams can move away from email threads, Word templates and scattered spreadsheets into a digital-first, openEPD-aligned environment. LCA results from tools such as GaBi, openLCA or SimaPro flow into structured records, while epd.world coordinates verifier review and pushes approved data to the OpenEPD Database. The result is faster, higher-quality, lower-cost EPD programs that manufacturers still fully control.
Theta for Construction Products is WAP Sustainability’s “Buy Clean Compliance Software,” focused on manufacturers of construction materials such as steel, glass, asphalt, concrete, cement, slag and aggregates. It provides LCA and EPD generation tools tailored to industries affected by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and state-level Buy Clean programs, helping producers meet federal and state embodied-carbon requirements without building their own LCA infrastructure. Industry associations across North America have adopted Theta EPD tools for industry-wide and plant-specific EPD programs, positioning Theta for Construction Products as a practical route into public-procurement markets that now demand low-carbon declarations.
WAP ESG™ is a sustainability data management platform designed to simplify the complex task of tracking and reporting ESG performance. It primarily targets financial firms, including private equity, asset managers, and lenders, who need to govern ESG performance across their investment portfolios. The platform addresses the challenge of data that originates from multiple sources, changes over time, and must be recalled for various reporting frameworks and regulatory bodies. By integrating ESG Key Performance Indicators from major frameworks like SASB, TCFD, and ISSB, the platform enables these firms to gain a centralized view of portfolio-wide and company-specific risks and opportunities. This transforms ESG from a compliance burden into a strategic tool for tracking performance and facilitating knowledge sharing across investments.
