Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong uses accurate EPDs and LCA values to reduce the carbon footprint of its concrete products.
“Not all of our competitors create EPDs, and since we do, it’s a big benefit for us. Some projects we have won because we had the best EPDs and were able to provide answers surrounding them. With more and more need for reduced carbon footprint when building, EPDs will become increasingly important.”
— Andreas Lidö, Development Engineer at Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong
