Concrete is the most used material on the planet. It causes 4 gigatons of carbon emissions a year. Cement specifically, which is the binding agent of concrete, is responsible for 8% of the world’s total carbon emissions. This means that efforts to halve carbon emissions in the construction industry will intensify over the next few years. CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is a good example. The upcoming carbon tax is targeting carbon-intensive materials like concrete.
The most reliable way for concrete manufacturers to ensure compliance and promote their low-carbon solutions is by creating environmental product declarations (EPDs).
The One Click LCA Concrete EPD Generator complies with global regulatory requirements, including the Swedish Klimatdeklaration, Danish BR18, GLA’s London Plan, and Norwegian TEK 21. Learn more about creating EPDs for your concrete products here.
