Participate in PCR Development

In all PCR development steps, we not only depend on individuals and organisations that have LCA and project management expert skills, we also highly depend on market/industry experts. The PCR moderators warmly invite you to share your expertise when creating and shaping our future PCRs.

To get involved, please contact the Secretariat for guidance.

PCRs Under Adoption

The following PCRs are currently under adoption.

For comments, feedback and questions please either contact the EPD Secretariat.
Secretariat: E-mail PCR team

c-PCR Bituminous mixtures
Estimated adoption date: March 2024
This PCR is a Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) publication, but will, if adopted, be applicable globally in the International EPD System. Its registration number is DN-PAV-03077.

Recently Published PCRs

The following PCRs have recently been published via the International EPD System.
The Secretariat shares its sincere appreciation with ALL engaged stakeholders.
Without them, these ready-to-use PCRs would simply not have existed!

The PCRs are downloadable in the EPD Portal.
Please do remember that you need to log-in/sign-up (free)!
