EPD: Blast furnace cement, CEM III/B 42.5 N-LH/SR, ECO Planet CEMIII/B 42.5 N-LH/SR (LafargeHolcim (2022))

The Functional Unit of this LCA is one ton (1000 kg) of product ready to be sent to the customer. The product included in this declaration is CEM III/B 42.5 N-LH/SR ECOPlanet MAX from LafargeHolcim España. This Portland slag cement can be used in mass or reinforced concretes, especially in large volume concreting, when a low heat hydration is required. Very suitable to improve the performance of concrete in sulphate or sea water environments and, in general, in concretes in chemically aggressive environments because increase their impermeability. All environmental impacts and use of resources, both direct and indirect, are reported to this unit. This assessment has been done using the production data of 2020. CEM III/B 42.5 N-LH/SR ECOPlanet MAX cement and the life cycle assessment includes the productions in the plants located in Carboneras and in Montcada i Reixac, Spain.
