EPD: Ready-mix concrete, 3.23 Mpa, 2400 kg/m3, 04300NB2018 (Holcim México Operaciones, Cuautitlan Concrete Plant)

This EPD is primary reported Holcim data from the reference year 2020 and uses direct reported Holcim information whenever possible. This includes both the cement plant and the concrete plant. This EPD accounts for primary information and greenhouse gas GHG emission reports for the Tecoman cement plant, used for the cement raw material input for all concrete mixes listed in this EPD. This LCA assumes the impacts from products manufactured in accordance with the standards outlined in this report. This LCA is a cradle to gate study, and therefore, stages extending beyond the plant gate are not included in this LCA. Excluded stages include transportation of the manufactured material to the construction site on site construction processes and components building infrastructure use and maintenance and end of life effects.
