Case Study: Ibstock achieves greater embodied carbon transparency with One Click LCA's EPD Generator

Ibstock verifies 20+ EPDs in 5 months with One Click LCA

Ibstock, a UK-based brick manufacturer with a long history and diverse product range, faced the challenge of increasing transparency around the carbon emissions of its products to meet its ambitious 2030 sustainability and net-zero goals. To understand and reduce the embodied carbon across its manufacturing processes, the company turned to vendor One Click LCA and implemented its EPD Generator tool.

The solution from One Click LCA enabled Ibstock to accurately measure the carbon footprint of its products and generate Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Using the tool to model scenarios and fine-tune product recipes, Ibstock achieved significant results, verifying its first EPD within months and having over 20 EPDs verified within five months. This provided critical data for strategic decisions, empowered their commercial team, and put them on a clear path to reduce embodied carbon across their entire portfolio.
