Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

For two of our products, an extensive life cycle analysis (LCA) has been made according to the EN 15804 + A2 standard. In an LCA, the environmental impacts of products and services are made clear throughout their entire life cycle. For the greenSand products, the following were taken into account:

  • Process of mining
  • Crushing process
  • Transport from the mine in Spain to Holland
  • Delivery to the customer in Holland
  • Applying the material
  • Usage
  • Possibility of reuse

Positive environmental impact

The LCA of greenSand shows that our products have a positive effect on the climate. This is because carbon emission total is negative. Because greenSand removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The so-called GWP (Global Warming Potential) is therefore negative.

Thanks to Nibe , who made the LCA, which has been validated by LBPSight . The LCA is summarized in an Electronic Product Document (EPD). These can be downloaded as PDF below. EPD Breaker sand 0-2 mm EPD Semi-hardening 0-6 mm
