EU: Cement Europe has published updated environmental product declarations (EPDs) for CEM I, CEM II and CEM III under the amended European standard EN 15804+A2. The new EPDs replace the 2020 versions and cover the ‘cradle-to-gate’ life stages of cement production. Cement Europe first published a European EPD for CEM I in 2008, which was updated in 2015 and expanded in 2020 to include CEM II and CEM III. The latest update aligns with European standards and policy objectives for a more sustainable built environment.
CEO Koen Coppenholle said “The EU cement industry remains fully supportive of CEN/TC 350’s Environmental Product Declaration framework, which provides quantified and transparent environmental data for life cycle analysis at building level. Reliable and harmonised data are essential to enable sustainable procurement, material neutrality and the transition to low-carbon construction.”
