ECOblocks – carbon-negative construction material

Study carried out by Itecons

Carbon negative

The carbon footprint, based on the “Global Warming Potential – Total” (GWP-Total), shows the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, expressed in CO2 equivalent.

This document presents partial results of a study conducted by Itecons – Instituto de Investigação e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico para a Construção, Energia, Ambiente e Sustentabilidade,
based on standard EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021.

Product life cycle

The results only consider the product stage, including: extraction and processing of raw materials (hemp,lime and clay); transportation of raw materials; and production of ECOblocks.

The updated versions of the Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) will be available shortly.
