At Berdal, sustainability is central to everything we do. An important part of our strategy is measuring and reducing the environmental impact of our products. That is why we have carried out a life cycle assessment (LCA) for the Gripline buckets and tubs and the Pandser EPDM. This allows us to map out the full impact of our products, from raw materials to waste processing.
An LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) fully maps the total carbon emissions of a product, process or service. We look at:
The purpose of an LCA is to gain insight into the components of the product that have the greatest impact on the environment. This enables us to take more targeted sustainability measures.
We record the results of an LCA in an EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), which is a product's environmental passport. An EPD provides insight into, among other things:
An EPD is standardised and can be shared externally with customers, policymakers and partners. This allows us to provide transparent and comparable information that helps with certification, tenders and sustainable choices.
We want to further expand our range of LCAs in 2026 by also conducting analyses for Pandser Water Damming Foil (DPC) and Lead Substitutes. This will give us even more insight into the environmental impact of our products and enable us to further strengthen our sustainability strategy. This expansion will help us and our partners make more responsible choices and contribute to a circular and environmentally friendly construction sector.
Curious about the impact of one of our products? The first LCAs are now available for viewing.
