Technical purpose of product or process "Multibeton XC concretes are specifically formulated to vary within a broad range, considering factors such as mechanical strength requirements, environmental conditions of the construction site, and casting complexity. They are particularly recommended for constructions where the reinforcement is exposed to air and moisture, thereby posing a risk of carbonation-induced reinforcement bar corrosion. Drainbeton is a specialized concrete tailored for drainage and sound absorption, It's the optimal choice for creating permeable pavements. Betonpav is optimal for internal and external flooring, in the infrastructural, industrial, residential and tertiary sectors, subjected to the action of static and dynamic loads. Compared to ordinary concrete, it is characterized by faster setting times and an easier installation." "Ready mix concrete: Multibeton: R30C4D31S4XC2/XC1, R30C3D31S4XC2/XC1, R37C4D31S4XC3/XC2/XC1/XA1/XF2, R30C4D16S4XC2/XC1, R37C4D16S4XC3/XC2/XC1/XA1, R40C4D16S4XC4/XC3/XC2/XC1; Betonpav: P30C4D31S4XC2/XC1, P30C4D31S5XC2/XC1, P35C4D16S5XC2/XC1; Drainbeton: DB30C4D08S2."
General comment on data set 1 m3 of ready-mix concrete produced at factory gate The study has been carried out based on specific primary data collected directly from the company through the compilation of data collection questionnaires. For all processes for which specific data are not available, reference is made to generic data taken mainly from the LCA database Ecoinvent v3.9.1 or from other verified LCA studies. The generic data used satisfy the data quality characteristics required by the Program Operator Regulations and the reference PCRs and can come from site-specific sources or average data. The use of proxy data is limited. "EN 15804: 2019 allocation rules have been adopted. For virgin raw materials, both the impacts associated with the materials themselves and those associated with the related production processes were considered. With regard to raw materials of recycled origin, only the impacts of the recycling process starting from the End of Waste status are considered. Outputs subject to recycling are considered inputs for the next life cycle; their impacts were assessed up to the End of Waste status. Some impacts of the production plant (e.g., electricity, water and diesel consumption) have been allocated among the outputs of the 2022 production based on physical properties." The cut-off rules in EN 15804:2019 have been applied, the applied cut-offs do not exceed 1% of the mass and energy flows entering the system.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
