Environmental product declarations (EPDs) have become a proven means of communicating the environmental footprints of construction products such as concrete materials. They provide the basis for determining consistent life cycle assessments for complete buildings. This trend will continue to grow in the future because many certification systems for sustainable construction reward the use of building products with EPDs - such as those from the German Sustainable Building Council (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen, DGNB).

All of this was expressed in an ever-increasing supply of...
