ANEFA (www.aridos.org).- The Aggregates Federation will be launching the DAP Aggregates project in the coming weeks. The EPD, also known as EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), is a way of measuring the impact of a product, in this case aggregates, on the environment, and is well established in Europe. In Spain, it is required by the ICES structural sustainability contribution index of the future Structural Code, the European Commission’s European LEVELs system for sustainable buildings and is a fundamental part of the Construction Products Regulation. It is required to score in the materials criteria of the main commercial certification schemes such as LEED, BREEAM, GREEN (GBCe), etc.
It is included as a criterion in the design of Green Public Procurement processes in Europe and Spain, through the Green Public Procurement Plan 2019, which will determine the products, works and services in which the electronic sites of the General State Administration (AGE) will promote public consumption that takes into account environmental parameters, as well as the ecological criteria to be taken into account in the different phases of procurement.
