Sustainability made easy for precast

Verified, product-specific Environmental Product Declarations for every precast element you produce.

Make precast jobs easier. Power carbon-informed decisions.

We connect your batching, curing, and reinforcement data into verified, product-specific Environmental Product Declarations. No endless paperwork — just clear, credible documentation that helps you meet specs and win contracts.

Reliable Precast Plant Data

Gathering clean data for an EPD can be painful when information is spread across mix designs, batch tickets, curing logs, and plant energy bills. We help you aggregate all those data sources without interrupting your production flow.

Always Ahead of Standards

We constantly track PCR updates and regulations that affect precast. Whether it’s the general concrete PCR being updated or a state like Colorado adding precast products to its EPD mandates, we know about it.

Got a Lean Team? No Problem

The process can eat up weeks of emailing back and forth. Time that your team doesn’t have. We manage the entire Environmental Product Declaration project for you, functioning like an off-site sustainability department.

EPDs That Build Trust

Contractors and project owners might dismiss an EPD if they suspect it’s not rigorous or if it’s hard to interpret. We were among the first to create product-specific EPDs for precast pieces. The result is an EPD your clients can easily trust and interpret.

Easy to Explain EPDs

Precast producers often wonder how much of their process needs to be included. We help define the scope clearly. By mapping this out, we ensure your EPD covers the full footprint of the precast unit itself. This makes your EPD accurate and easy to explain.

Clear ROI

It can be hard to see ROI if you think of it only as appeasing regulators. We help get your EPDs into the hands of designers and specifiers, so that the effort you put into an Environmental Product Declaration comes back to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Backed by a decade of concrete carbon data expertise — here’s what precast producers ask us most.

How do we integrate this process without disrupting production?

We fit our process around your operations — minimal meetings, no on-site interruptions. You provide existing data (mix totals, energy bills, material use), and we do the modeling off-site. Communication is quick and flexible — by email or short calls.

How do Buy Clean and procurement policies affect precast producers in the US?

Buy Clean laws and other procurement policies are making EPDs a requirement for supplying state and federal projects. Many states already include precast in their mandates. We track every update and ensure your EPDs meet the thresholds for low-carbon qualification. That way, you stay eligible for government and infrastructure bids without scrambling at the last minute.

Will having an EPD actually help us win jobs?

Yes — many DOT, federal, and commercial projects now require EPDs for precast components. Having verified EPDs positions you to qualify where competitors can’t. Even when not mandatory, they show you’re proactive and transparent, giving you an edge in bids. We also help get your EPDs in front of specifiers and listed in public databases to boost visibility.

What stages should we include — just the mix or everything else too?

Your EPD will cover cradle-to-gate: cement, aggregates, admixtures, reinforcement steel, and all plant operations up to your yard gate. We make sure every relevant material and process is included and documented. Regional requirements may differ and require additional stages to be included, but we will track down the applicable requirements on our end. You’ll be able to clearly explain to clients what’s included — no missing pieces.

Will our EPD be credible and consistent to others?

Yes — every EPD we produce is third-party verified and follows the appropriate precast PCRs. That means your results are produced the same way as any competitor’s EPD. We include benchmarks or industry averages for context so specifiers can make clear comparisons. With Climate Earth’s name on it, your EPD carries instant credibility.

How much time and money does an EPD take?

Traditionally, EPDs take months to produce and thousands in consulting costs. Working with our LCA experts, one set of plant data can generate multiple verified EPDs in weeks, not months. You’ll typically spend only the time it takes to provide us with your production data — we handle modeling and initiate the verification from there.

Which PCR applies to precast concrete, and how often do the rules change?

Precast products follow the regionally applicable core PCRs as well as unique complementaty precast PCRs for the North American and European markets, which are updated about every five years to reflect new standards or impact categories. You stay compliant and bid-ready without having to track changing rules yourself.

What data do we actually need to gather for a precast EPD?

You’ll need the key inputs and process data for your products — mix designs (cement, SCMs, aggregates, admixtures), reinforcement quantities, energy use, and supplier logistics. Most of this is already in your batch tickets, purchase logs, and utility bills. We give you clear templates so you know exactly what numbers we need. In most cases, your QC or production team already tracks everything — we just help organize it for EPD use.
