We have used the BRE LINA online tool to access life cycle assessment data and verify Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for eight of our most popular concrete mixes and for the UK average concrete. There are also verified EPDs for cement and Regen. All aggregate, cement and Regen sources are available as materials within LINA to allow the generation of internally verified EPDs for specific products on request, including the calculation of cradle to gate carbon that can be calculated for all products. These are publicly available on the Hanson website.
We have already exceeded the new global HeidelbergCement commitment to reduce the average CO2 within cementitious products to 525 kg/tonne by 2025 and to less than 500 kg/tonne of by 2030. By using our lower carbon cements in combination with Regen we are already achieving an average CO2 within our cementitious products at 418 kg/tonne as a national average. EPD's can be provided if our customers require a tailored low carbon solution for their project and are based on the best mix design that balances their performance and environmental impact needs.
