Euclid Canada Completes Environmental Product Declaration for Three Admixture Manufacturing Plants
July 18 2024 - 8:45AM
Euclid Chemical, a leading manufacturer of specialty concrete and
masonry construction products, has announced the completion of its
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for three of its Canadian
admixture manufacturing plants in Toronto, ON, St. Hubert, QC, and
Calgary, AB. This achievement underscores Euclid Chemical’s
commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship
within the construction industry.
The EPD provides detailed, third-party-verified data on the
environmental impacts of 29 concrete admixtures produced at these
Canadian facilities. Based on a life cycle assessment (LCA) of a
manufactured material, the EPD serves as a transparent means of
comparing the environmental performance of various products serving
the same function.
The analysis resulting from the EPD encompasses 29 products
across six categories:
- Air
Entrainers: 4 products
- Set
Accelerators: 3 products
- Set
Retarders: 3 products
- Water
Reducers: 6 products
- High-Range Water
Reducers: 5 products
- Specialty
Admixtures: 8 products
This complements Euclid Chemical’s existing Fiber EPD, which
quantifies the environmental savings from using Tuf-Strand and PSI
Fiberstrand fibers produced at its Lafayette, Ga., facility.
“As a company committed to sustainable practices, securing an
Environmental Product Declaration for our Canadian admixture
manufacturing facilities marks a significant milestone,” said Bill
Corradetti, divisional manager for Euclid Canada. “It demonstrates
our dedication to transparency, environmental stewardship and the
evolving needs of our customers.”
The EPD was conducted in accordance with ISO 21930:2017 for
sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works, and it
complies with the ISO 14025 standard. The scope of the EPD covers
the “cradle-to-gate” production stage for chemical admixtures for
concrete applications, which includes raw material supply,
transport and manufacturing processes.
