Holcim Romania continues the path towards the ecological transition in the construction materials sector by drawing up four new Environmental Declarations recognized at the international level (Environmental Product Declaration – EPD), which scientifically certify the low environmental impact of Holcim’s ECOSolutions – ECOPlanet cement, ECOPact concrete and binders Doroport and Dorosol.

Holcim, the first construction materials company in Romania to publish an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), also becomes the first manufacturer of construction materials with solutions and products whose reduced CO2 footprint is proven, according to the same instrument.

Environmental Statements help architects, designers, developers, and builders make informed decisions in the process of selecting building materials, and by using sustainable, externally validated materials, Holcim offers its customers the benefit of increased scores in green building certification schemes (LEED, BREEAM, Green Homes, etc.).

“We take responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We share knowledge and develop tools that allow our collaborators to make a responsible choice of the construction materials they use. We continue to support the development of EPDs in the construction market as they represent verified, transparent, transformative environmental impact data, enabling designers, architects, developers, and builders to make informed choices about sustainable building materials,” said Edmund Piess, Director of Sustainability, Holcim Romania.
