Moving to performance-based cement and concrete standards in Europe – an international perspective
Europe is in urgent need of performance-based cement and concrete standards. The ongoing CPR acquis process on cement offers a unique opportunity to tackle this challenge head on and drive decarbonisation in one of the most carbon-intensive industries. We look at the key lessons from countries outside of Europe that have already made this transition.
These findings are the result of desk research, interviews, and a literature study, conducted both by ECOS staff and cement and concrete experts. The featured countries and national standards have been selected as particularly relevant for the ongoing reforms in Europe.
