Greenbloc UK first to achieve EPD Status
SigmaRoc (AIM: SRC), the AIM quoted buy-and-build construction
materials group, is pleased to announce that Greenbloc has become
the first cement-free concrete block to achieve Environmental
Product Declaration ('EPD'),
administered by The International EPD(R) System.
The EPD is classed as a type III environmental declaration with
ISO 14025, and provides transparent and credible information about
the environmental impact of a product throughout its lifecycle -
from material extraction, through to manufacturing, useage and end
of life.
Achieving EPD marks a significant next step for Greenbloc and
its potential as a one-for-one replacement of traditional cement
based concrete blocks. Manufactured to British Standard EN 771 - 3:
(2011), Greenbloc also complies with Part E of the Building
Regulations for Walls and Floors and has no compromise on strength
compared to ordinary cement based blocks.
Max Vermorken, CEO of SigmaRoc commented:
"Greenbloc receiving the EPD is a significant milestone for our
ultra-low carbon building block. Many large developers require EPD
certification to ensure the environmental and technical credentials
of the product are independently certified. Making such progress in
such short time again shows the relentless drive to innovate within
PPG and SigmaRoc."
Michael Roddy, Managing Director of SigmaRoc's Precast Products
Group ('PPG'), commented:
"This is another great achievement by our technical and research
teams as we prepare to launch a full range of ultra-low carbon
concrete products from January 2022. EDP is critical within the
industry as all parts of the supply chain rely on certified
environmental credentials. For PPG this is, however, just a first
step, with many more to follow."
