Market Regulation & Legal Compliance

• SOCIETY is acting on climate change and the topic is likely to gain
relevance!
• Global environmental/sustainability problems can never be solved
without an active business sector

• BUSINESS increasingly commits to various sustainability objectives

and frameworks:
• Science Based Targets (SBT)
• Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)
• SRS Reporting & SASB
• Net Zero, Carbon Neutral, a.s.o.

• BUSINESS needs to know … to transparently communicate the

impact of their products (with comparable, objective and third-party
verified data)

• The PRIVATE sector is defining the level playing field by developing

standards in the field of environmental management, conformity
assessment and climate mitigation

• The PUBLIC sector is defining the level playing field for a green
economy to ascertain fair market competition and avoid green
washing

Example market regulation

Green Building Schemes (e.g., LEED)

Section: Materials and Resources (MR)

Sub section: MR CREDIT: ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT DECLARATIONS
Credits: max. 2 points

Intent:
To encourage the use of products and materials for which life-cycle information is available and that have environmentally, economically, and
socially preferable life-cycle impacts. To reward project teams for selecting products from manufacturers who have verified improved
environmental life-cycle impacts.

Options to achieve credits:

1. Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) (1 point)
2. Embodied Carbon/LCA Optimization (1 point)

EC Regulatory Framework

• EU Regulation
• Integration of sustainability in many different regulations

• CPR to provide necessary data from construction products

• for national regulation and for different regulations on other level (e.g., building level or finance)
17/03/2023 15 International EPD® System

EXAMPLE: EU ESPR & CPR

!!! PROPOSAL !!!!

• March 2022, EU’s Spring Package was presented as part of the EU Green
Deal to provide the necessary rules and tools to address environmental
challenges
• ECO DESIGN for SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS REGULATION (ESPR) is
REGULATORY umbrella framework in case no specific legislation exists to
address environmental sustainability
• CONSTRUCTION PRODUCT REGULATION (CPR) is EU complementary
regulation to implement ESPR in construction products
• Provides a list of rules and requirements that shall be met in order
to sell products in the EU market
• The product is assessed/verified against its conformity with the
rules in order to obtain a CE marking
• The DIGITAL Product Passport is a tool containing the DoP, DoC and
instructions for use, and e.g. links Digital Building Logbooks

ESPR is proposed umbrella, but other product legislation can regulate

sustainability of products instead (like CPR)

Construction Product Regulation (CPR) revision Core indicators

as part of ESPR • Climate change – total / fossil /biogenic / land use
!!! PROPOSAL !!!! and land use change
• Ozone Depletion
• CPR contains rules on sustainability indicators • Acidification
• Core and Additional indicators • Eutrophication aquatic freshwater
• Eutrophication aquatic marine
• Eutrophication terrestrial
• Photochemical ozone creation
• Depletion of abiotic resources – mineral and metals
• Depletion of abiotic resources – fossi fuel
• Water use

• Reporting of core Indicator “Climate Change Effects” proposed to be

obligatory in DoP (Declaration of Performance)
• Reporting obligation of other core and additional indicators depends on
decision of the EU Members States

• EPDs report these core indicator already today!

• I.e. you are compliant with CPR when publish(ing) EPDs for
construction products

USA - Buy Clean California Act -

The Buy Clean California Act (BCCA) (Public Contract Code Sections 3500-3505), states the Department of General Services (DGS), in
consultation with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), is required to establish and publish the maximum acceptable Global Warming
Potential (GWP) limit for four eligible materials. The BCCA targets carbon emissions associated with the production of structural steel (hot-
rolled sections, hollow structural sections, and plate), concrete reinforcing steel, flat glass, and mineral wool board insulation.
When used in public works projects, these eligible materials must have a GWP that does not exceed the limit set by DGS.
NEWS
• Maximum acceptable GWP limits were established on January 1, 2022 and can be found in the GWP Limits (table below).
• Beginning July 1, 2022, the awarding authorities will determine GWP limit compliance of eligible materials using Environmental Products
Declarations (EPDs).
• BCA is rolled out on Federal and National levels and to include more materials/products
