CREATING ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATIONS (EPDS) FOR CLAY CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH EN 15804

Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) for clay blocks and roof tiles are essential for achieving sustainability in the construction industry. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of these products includes all stages of their life cycle, providing information on their impact on the environment. Meeting the requirements and guidelines of the EN 15804 standard, the General Program Instructions (GPI) for the International EPD System and the Product Category Rules (PCR) for clay construction products ensures the validity and comparability of the EPD declarations. By using advanced tools in a specialized software such as "One Click LCA", part of the EPD Hub (Ireland) platform, the process of creating EPD declarations for clay construction products is improved.
