Limitations

EPDs within the same product category but registered in different EPD programmes may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same version number up to the first two digits) or be based on fully-aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have equivalent system boundaries and descriptions of data; apply equivalent data quality requirements, methods of data collection, and allocation methods; apply identical cut-off rules and impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); have equivalent content declarations; and be valid at the time of comparison.

Ownership

The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner

NCC is one of the leading construction and property development companies in the Nordic region, with sales of 5.6 billion Euro and approximately 11 800 employees in 2024. With the Nordic region as its home market, NCC is active throughout the value chain – developing commercial properties and constructing housing, offices, industrial facilities and public buildings, roads, civil engineering structures and other types of infrastructure. NCC also offers input materials used in construction and accounts for paving and road services. NCC works to reduce both our own and our customers’ environmental impact and continues to further refine our offerings with additional products and solutions in line with this. NCC’s sustainability work is based on a holistic approach with all three dimensions of sustainability – social, environmental and economical. NCC´s sustainability framework is divided into eight impact areas: Data and expertise, Natural resources and biodiversity, Materials and circularity, Climate and energy, Health and safety, People and team, Ethics and compliance and Economic performance. NCC reports on its sustainability progress each year and the report has been included in NCC’s Annual Report since 2010. NCC applies Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, the voluntary guidelines of the GRI for the reporting of sustainability information. In addition to GRI, NCC also reports the Group’s emission of greenhouse gases to the CDP each year. NCC is a member in BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), which is the broadest business-driven platform for the improvement of social compliance in the global supply chain and has been a member of the UN Global Compact since 2010. The UN Global Compact is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 defined and universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.

Product information

Product nameRecycled concrete 0/90
Product identificationRecycled concrete 0/90 is an aggregate of fraction 0/90 classified according to UN CPC 89 420.
Product descriptionThe product consist of recycled concrete and can for example be used in civil engineering work.
Technical purpose of productThe product can for example be used as filling material in civil engineering.
Manufacturing or service provision descriptionIn general, demolished concrete is received at the site to be crushed into a 0/90 fraction. For crushing to be possible the rebar is removed using an excavator. When the concrete is crushed in an impact crusher the product has reached EoW (End of Waste). Thereafter the material is stockpiled using a wheel loader.

Additional information about the underlying LCA-based informationAllocation The fuel consumption is known for each process step consuming fuel. Assumptions and approximations As little information is available on waste, the amount of mixed waste and metal scrap is estimated by an operational expert. Cut-offs -Washer fluid is used to a small extent and therefore excluded.

Default scenario

Name of the default scenarioRelocation of aggregates
Description of the default scenarioA minor part of the aggregates are relocated, for example at the road where it is located. The material could for instance be used to fill an embankment in the proximity. This is expected to occur within a 100-year time horizon.

Module C: End-of-life

Module D: Beyond product life cycle

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module DReplacing production
Brief description of the default scenario in module DReplacing primary production of virgin aggregates
Description of the default scenario in module DThe net load relates to the transport of the excavated material. This is assumed to be 3 km transported by a small truck (approximately 9 tonnes payload capacity). The benefit gained is equal to the virgin aggregates that are substituted. This is assumed to replace the product group with the lowest environmental impact produced at the site (module A1-A3) (conservative assumption).

Additional scenario 1

Name of the additional scenarioAggregates remain in construction
Description of the additional scenarioThe majority of the aggregates (excluding the asphalt and concrete applications) stay in the construction for a long time period (more than 100 years). Thus, it is assumed that the aggregates do not reach the end-of-life stage.

Module C: End-of-life

Description of the additional scenario in module CThe majority of the aggregates (excluding the asphalt and concrete applications) stay in the construction for a long time period (more than 100 years). Thus, it is assumed that the aggregates do not reach the end-of-life stage.
