Vancouver’s building landscape is about to get a lot greener. As Lafarge Canada releases new Environmental Product Declarations for their ECOPact concrete, the company’s low-carbon concrete, BC builders now know exactly what impact they have – and how their concrete choices change that impact.
An Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD, that documents and tracks the life-cycle environmental impact of a product. “It’s like a nutrition label,” says Morkos Hanes, Manager, at the Lafarge WCAN Technical and Development Centre where the data was collected for the EPDs. “We know exactly how our ECOPact concretes impact BC’s atmosphere, resources, waste flows, and more.”
