Case Study: Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong reduces concrete carbon footprint with One Click LCA

Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong cuts concrete carbon footprint by more than half with One Click LCA

Heidelberg Materials Precast Abetong, a leading Swedish manufacturer of prefabricated concrete elements, aimed to minimize the carbon footprint of its products and meet growing customer demand for sustainable building materials. To achieve this, the company needed to create accurate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and leverage life cycle assessment (LCA) data, a challenge they addressed by partnering with vendor One Click LCA and using its EPD Generator and API-integrated tools.

By implementing One Click LCA's solutions, Heidelberg Materials gained the ability to generate precise, project-specific carbon footprint calculations and third-party verified EPDs at scale. This resulted in the company winning new projects directly because of their superior EPDs, positioning them ahead of competitors who did not offer such documentation. The tools also provided valuable insights that allow for early-stage dialogue with customers on reducing a project's carbon footprint, and the company anticipates future regulations will make these environmental aspects as important as price.
