We are excited to announce that Climate Earth™ and CarbiCrete™ have partnered to release the first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for CarbiCrete’s cement-free concrete masonry units (CMUs)! What Sets This EPD Apart? ✔️ 20x Lower Global Warming Potential (GWP): CarbiCrete’s CMUs achieve a remarkable GWP of 11.7 kg CO₂ per m³, compared to the industry average of over 200. ✔️ Cement-Free Innovation: By replacing cement with steel slag and curing with CO₂, CarbiCrete significantly reduces emissions while delivering the quality and durability the industry depends on.

At Climate Earth, we align perfectly with these principles through our comprehensive Approach to Cement & Concrete Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) & Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Here’s why our EPDs are essential: • 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: Provide clear, verified environmental data. • 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Ensure your products meet the latest regulatory standards. • 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲: Stand out with credible sustainability credentials. • 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Empower your clients to make eco-friendly choices. Discover how Climate Earth LCAs & EPDs can help you achieve resource efficiency and sustainability in your Cement, Concrete & Precast projects.

Climate Earth is proud to celebrate our collaboration with Holcim at their Innovation Days event, where our team had the privilege to contribute directly to the conversation on sustainable concrete. Our very own Fabian Diaz and Mohammed Issa attended the event, with Fabian getting the opportunity to present the impact of Climate Earth's EPD Generator™ on Holcim’s global operations. Our tool has enabled Holcim to produce mix-specific, third-party-verified EPDs at scale, supporting initiatives like their groundbreaking low-carbon EcoPact concrete solution. The results speak for themselves: measurable carbon reductions, increased transparency, and alignment with decarbonization goals. For instance, projects leveraging EcoPact have achieved at least a 30% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard (CEM I) concrete. We’re inspired by the conversations and leadership Holcim is fostering with different stakeholders and are excited to continue driving change together.

🌍 Navigating Global EPD Standards with Climate Earth's EPD Generator™ 🌍 Climate Earth's EPD Generator™ is live in 17 countries worldwide, with more going live soon. As regulations around Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) evolve globally, concrete producers face growing pressure to meet diverse and complex standards. From the EU’s Construction Products Regulation (CPR), requiring comprehensive life cycle reporting, to state-specific mandates like CALGreen in California and “Buy Clean” policies in the U.S., each region comes with its own set of rules and nuances. Our platform is designed to help producers navigate these differences effortlessly, creating compliant, verified EPDs for every market. Wherever you operate, Climate Earth ensures you stay ahead of regulatory updates while building trust with your customers. Let us help you simplify compliance and lead in sustainable concrete: https://lnkd.in/gf8NYd6Y #Concrete #EPDs #ClimateEarth #Sustainability

With our Environmental Product Declaration, generated by Climate Earth, officially available, CarbiCrete is showing that you don't need #cement to built resilient structures.   "EPDs provide precise and transparent #data to architects, engineers and builders when choosing #materials vital to meeting #sustainability goals. The Climate Earth certification gives #Montreal-based CarbiCrete the equivalent of a manufacturing seal of approval for its cement-free CMUs."   Read more on CarbiCrete's EPD and plans for expansion from Sustainable Biz Canada:

Celebrating a Milestone! 🎉 In 2013, Climate Earth launched the world's first EPD Generator™, setting a new standard for environmental transparency. Fast forward to 2024, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve now created over 78,403 EPDs—nearly half of all EPDs globally! 🚀 EPDs are now a cornerstone of low-carbon concrete, helping concrete producers meet evolving regulations and market demands. With 1,334+ live plants worldwide, we’re proud to lead the charge, empowering producers to stay ahead with innovative solutions. Here's to building a sustainable future—one EPD at a time. 🌍 #Sustainability #EPDs #Concrete
