The construction industry is moving toward a more sustainable future, and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) play a vital role.

Traditionally, EPDs provided generic environmental data from a fixed point in time. However, the industry is shifting to EPD On-Demand —offering precise, job-specific environmental insights for greater transparency. At Allied Concrete, we’re proud to lead this change with our EPD On-Demand service, built around our innovative low-carbon concrete, Ecrete™. Here’s everything you need to know about the new way of measuring and reducing your project’s environmental impact.

Traditional EPDs vs EPD On-Demand: What’s the Difference?

  • Generic data: Traditional EPDs relied on generic figures that often didn’t reflect specific projects.
  • Lack of transparency: Averages made it difficult to calculate true environmental savings.

Why Allied Concrete’s EPD On-Demand is the Future

  • Job-specific precision: Tailored data for your exact mix, location, and scope; now with the ability to factor in emissions of transport to your site.
  • Greater transparency: You get full visibility into your project’s embodied carbon impact.

The Benefits of EPD On-Demand with Allied Concrete

  • Real-Time Insights: Receive a customised EPD specific to your project and material choices.
  • Track Carbon Reduction: Accurately measure the environmental impact of your build.
  • Simplify Certification: Achieve compliance with Green Star, LEED, or ISC frameworks more easily.
  • Build Smarter: Make informed, data-driven decisions that align with your sustainability goals.

Your Questions Answered

1. Why are traditional EPDs being phased out?
Traditional EPDs used generic data that didn’t reflect the environmental impact of specific projects, limiting transparency and accuracy. Allied Concrete’s EPD On-Demand service solves this by offering tailored insights for each job.

2. Can I still access older EPD data?
Older EPDs are no longer available, as they have been replaced with EPD On-Demand, which provides more accurate, project-specific data.

3. How do I request an EPD On-Demand for my project?
Simply specify Ecrete™ in your design and submit a request through our website. Allied Concrete will deliver a customised EPD.
