Resources

The Canadian precast industry has developed industry-wide Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to allow architects, engineers, building owners, and other specifiers to understand better the environmental impacts of precast and prestressed concrete products. Our EPDs are "cradle-to-gate", encompassing the product's life cycle stages of raw material extraction, transportation of raw materials, and manufacturing to finish product.

Industry Progress in Decarbonization

The Canadian precast concrete industry, through CPCI, has been tracking and reporting the environmental impacts of its products and operations since 2015. In 2023, CPCI published its third round of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for various precast product categories with regionalized breakdowns.

Since the publication of our first industry-average EPD in 2015, the Canadian precast industry has seen a 22% reduction in our A1-A3embodied carbon. See the Drive to Decarbonization Publication.
