Getting started with the ORIS CO2-calculator for aggregates
Welcome to the knowledge base dedicated to the ORIS CO₂ Calculator for Aggregates. This space is designed to guide you step by step in discovering and using the tool.
Introduction to the CO2-calculator
In case you prefer to read instead to listen, the transcript is available below!
This CO2-calculator will enable you to calculate the Global Warming Potential impact of your aggregates products. Why is it important? Because the measurement is the first step before taking actions to reduce the footprint, and also because the Construction Product Regulation (CPR) has changed, making soon the declaration of the CO2-impact mandatory to obtain the CE marking and sell the product.
The ORIS CO2-calculator is a tool easy to use and scientifically robust. Indeed, the methodology has been developed with CIRAIG, one of the most leading LCA research center worldwide.
The calculator has an innovative feature, which is the calculation of the carbon footprint by production area of your processing plant, giving less impact to coarse aggregates which are less processed for example.
The calculator is a form of several sections to complete. The 1st section relates to the general information and the scope of your study. The next sections refer to the data collection.
At the end, you will receive a certificate within 1 week with the carbon footprint of your products. The results are in compliance with EN 15804+A2 and ISO 14040 / 14044, and are valid for 1 year. You will also receive a background calculation report, detailing the methodology and values used to perform the calculations.
