Poland: The Building Research Institute has issued environmental product declarations (EPDs) for Cemex Poland’s CEM III slag cement and five other cements produced at its Chełm and Rudniki cement plants and Gdynia grinding plant. The company additionally obtained EPD certification for its Vertua Classic and Vertua Plus concrete products, which contain cement produced using supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs).
Materials director Michał Grys said “For us, product certification is another important step towards sustainable construction and a sustainable future. EPD declarations provide our clients with additional confirmation of the properties of products offered by Cemex Poland. They also improve their chances of obtaining LEED or BREEAM certificates for their investments.”
