UK manufactured precast concrete cable troughing from Ibstock is now available with a third party verified Environmental Product Declaration or EPD*, as part of our planned roll out of EPDs across our product portfolio throughout 2024.

This EPD confirms that Ibstock has one of the lowest carbon Concrete Cable Troughs available on the market and provides the data that will enable the rail sector to make more informed choices about the products it specifies.

Emily Landsborough, Ibstock’s Head of ESG, commented: “Our research suggests that the post popular of the size variants within our range have significantly lower embodied carbon than competitor and imported products. Our best-selling Concrete Cable Trough (C/1/9) has 22% less embodied carbon than equivalent products of a similar size based on A1-A3 Global Warming Potential (GWP) figure in comparable EPDs.

“Last year, we invested significantly in the resources and the software needed to provide the full life cycle analysis necessary for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the products we manufacture. The EPD data is fully transparent and available to the sector to use and analyse.”
