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® 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."
