Construction products are one of the most significant contributors to environmental damage with an annual carbon footprint of 250 million tonnes in the EU. This is equivalent to the electricity use of nearly 500 million homes in a single year. Beyond emissions, construction products account for half of the EU's total material consumption and contribute to about one-third of the bloc's annual waste output.
