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 62 billion SEK 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.

Product information
Macadam 16/32
| Product name | Macadam 16/32 |
|---|---|
| Product identification | The product is an aggregate of fraction 16/32 and classified according to UN CPC 15 320. The following technical standards are applicable for the product: EN-13242+A1:2007 - Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials for use in civil engineering work and road construction |
| Product description | The product consist of leptite and can for example be used in civil engineering work and road construction |
| Technical purpose of product | The product can for example be used as filling material in civil engineering. |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | When extracting virgin rock at the site, the first step is to remove the overburden, like soil, moraine and vegetations, with an excavator to uncover the hard rock. Consideration is taken to animals inhabiting the site by avoiding felling vegetations during the breeding season. The overburden is normally stored within the quarry to be used in rehabilitation of the quarry at the end of life. After removal of the overburden, holes are drilled, filled with explosives and detonated. The number of holes drilled depends on the amount of rock to extract at each blast. The explosives are normally taken to the site by tanker trucks. The explosive is in most cases a two-component product that is mixed and activated when pumped down into the holes. Hence, no explosives are stored at site. After the blast, the raw material is fed into the production process using a combination of excavators, wheel loaders and/or dumper trucks. The continued production process is a combination of material feeders, conveyor belts, crushers and screens that transports, breaks and sorts the material into different products. |

| LCA Software | LCA for Experts (formerly GaBi Software) N/A |
| Additional information about the underlying LCA-based information | Assumptions and approximations Various oils and lubricants used in the production process, are approximated with a dataset for lubricants since no dataset or EPD were found for hydraulic oil or grease and the impact is judged to be similar. Transport distances have been approximated together with operational experts at the site, based on location of raw material supply. The wear of manganese steel from crushers is estimated based on values from another site, since there are no current data available. The consumption of fuel, washer fluid and lubricating oil by drilling rigs is allocated by its average consumption per working hour and the number of working hours. Equipment for mobile crushing is transported to the site. Average distance and weight of the equipment used are based on data from several sites. As little information is available on the use of lubricants, the consumption is estimated based on figures from a similar site. As little information is available on hazardous waste – oil for recycling, the figures are based on the onsumption of lubricants. As little information is available on metal scrap, the amount of waste is estimated based on figures from a similar site. Allocation The consumption of explosives is allocated equally on all products originating from blasted rock, based on mass. Explosives are not allocated to products not originating from blasted rock. Since the products originates from blasting, the consumption of explosives is allocated based on mass. The fuel consumption is known specifically for some process steps, since it’s known which machines are used specifically in those process steps. In combination with knowing what process steps each product go through, this use of fuel is allocated between the products. Some machines are however used in several process steps and it’s therefore difficult to allocate this specific use of fuel to certain process steps. Regarding this use of fuel, as well as fuel used for general activities on site, fuel is allocated on all products produced based on mass. Cut-offs - The amount of oil-contaminated soil due to spillage from machines/vehicles is very difficult to estimate. Based on internal expert knowledge, this amount is deemed negligible and very rarely occurring. - The packaging for the input materials used in the production process are negligible. - Fuse heads and fuse cables used for igniting explosives is excluded from the calcula-tion since those are used in a very small amount. - Washer fluid is a cut-off since it is used in a very small amount. In addition to that, no suitable datasets could be found. |

Default scenario
| Name of the default scenario | Relocation of aggregates |
|---|---|
| Description of the default scenario | A 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 D | Replacing production |
|---|---|
| Brief description of the default scenario in module D | Replacing primary production of virgin aggregates |
| Description of the default scenario in module D | The 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 scenario | Aggregates remain in construction |
|---|---|
| Description of the additional scenario | The 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 C | The 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. |

| Disclaimer 1 | The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero. | ||||||||||||||||

Information related to EPDs of multiple products
| Description of how the averages have been determined | All products within this EPD carry the same environmental impact as they all have been produced from the exact same production processes. Therefore, the results are representative for all all products in this EPD and are actually not average results but specific results for all products. |
