Ibstock's rail troughing receives EPD verification

The EPD provides rail sector decision makers with the data they need to make more informed choices about the products they specify. Ibstock's rail troughing EPD provides the industry with verification of the manufacturer’s commitment to sustainability. As a business, Ibstock continues to strive to achieve further reductions to the embodied carbon within its suite of concrete products that it supplies to the Rail and other industries.

Neil Cross, Ibstock’s National Sales Manager, says that the EPD certification helps dispel a myth about concrete products. He commented: “It is widely perceived that concrete –is not sustainable and therefore not carbon friendly at all. By having EPD verification, we are able to demonstrate the sustainable credentials of our troughing and hopefully change perceptions around concrete as an environmentally-concious building material.
