CEMENTOS LA CRUZ, S.L. descripcion_empresa

In order to provide innovative solutions, improve energy efficiency, and reduce the environmental impact of its products, the company has registered DAPcons®.NTe.249.

CEM I 52,5R, Portland cement with very high early strength, specialized for applications in concrete, precast elements, and prestressed structures.

The company descripcion_empresa_consultor, an affiliated member of the DAPconstrucción® Programme, was responsible for preparing this DAPcons®, subsequently verified by Ferran Pérez Ibáñez. The declaration is valid until 02/09/2030 and is based on the Product Category Rules UNE-EN 16908:2019+A1:2022 Product category rules for cement and building lime.. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) supporting the Environmental Product Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the most recognized European standards on sustainability in construction. In particular, it follows UNE-EN 15804:2012+A2:2020/AC:2021, which defines the basic rules for environmental product declarations of construction products; UNE-EN 16908:2019, which complements this standard for products such as cements and limes; and UNE-EN ISO 14040:2006, which establishes the principles and framework of life cycle assessment within environmental management. The study scope covers all stages from raw material extraction to the cement leaving the plant, under the “cradle to gate” approach, considering exclusively internal processes up to the point when the product is ready for distribution. The system boundary establishes the unit processes to be included in the model. Two fundamental principles define these boundaries: – “Modularity principle”: Processes affecting the environmental performance of the product during its life cycle must be assigned to the life cycle module in which they occur. All environmental aspects and impacts must be declared at the stage in which they arise. – “Polluter pays principle”: Processes related to waste treatment are assigned to the system of the product that generates the waste, until end-of-waste status is reached. Consequently, LCA results do not include emissions from waste treatment derived from product use.

The DAPconstrucción® Programme was created in 2008 with the aim of bringing together manufacturing companies committed to analysing the environmental impacts of their products and improving their environmental performance.
