Precast concrete products
Use advice for data set This EPD covers the cradle to gate with options scope with following modules: A1 (Raw material supply), A2 (Transport), and A3 (Manufacturing),C1 (Deconstruction), C2 (Transport at end-of-life), C3 (Waste processing) and C4 (Disposal). In addition, module D - benefits and loads beyond the system boundary is included.
Technical purpose of product or process Concrete products are widely used around industrial and commercial buildings, in private areas, logistic centres, warehouses, and other that require to pave the area. CPC code 37550 – prefabricated structural components for building or civil engineering, of cement, concrete or artificial stone
General comment on data set The allocations in the Ecoinvent 3.10.1 datasets used in this study follow the Ecoinvent system model ‘Allocation, cut-off, EN15804. Scenarios included in the LCA are based on realistic scenarios which are currently in use and are representative for one of the most likely scenario alternatives. In this study no allocation was made. The EN 15804 reference package used is based on EF 3.1. The study does not exclude any modules or processes which are stated mandatory in the reference standard and the applied PCR. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. The study includes all major raw material and energy consumption. All inputs and outputs of the unit processes, for which data is available for, are included in the calculation. There is no neglected unit process more than 1% of total mass or energy flows. The module specific total neglected input and output flows also do not exceed 5% of energy usage or mass.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
