We make concrete, and that is precisely why we know its dark side. Concrete accounts for almost 10% of global CO₂ emissions — more than all global transport combined. Its production demands enormous quantities of sand, gravel, and cement, and the vast majority of what was once concrete ends up under a road or in low-grade applications. A sector this large cannot be ignored. But it can be changed. That is exactly what we are doing.
Sustainability begins with facts. That is why we produce a life cycle analysis for all our products in accordance with European standard EN 15804. We measure the environmental cost indicator (MKI), greenhouse gas emissions (GWP), and circularity. What we know, we can substantiate — thanks to independent testing and validation.
Figures exist to be improved. Compared to traditional concrete, Liberated Concrete achieves an MKI and CO₂ reduction of between 63% and 80%, depending on the reference concrete. We achieve this by returning existing concrete fully to its original raw materials. The result: the same quality cement, fundamentally different impact.
An EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) is an independently verified environmental report for each product, drawn up in accordance with EN 15804. We have one for every circular product we make, containing data on CO₂, raw materials, and life cycle. Request an EPD whenever you need it for your project, tender, or certification.

Liberated Concrete is certified for quality and circularity, in line with applicable concrete standards. We produce an EPD for each product in accordance with European standard EN 15804. Would you like the full list or a specific EPD? Please get in touch.
We produce a life cycle analysis (LCA) for all our products in accordance with EN 15804. This covers the environmental cost indicator (MKI), greenhouse gas emissions (GWP) and circularity. Results are independently verified and validated. An EPD is available for each product.
No. Liberated Concrete performs on a par with traditional concrete — sometimes better. The difference lies in the origin of the raw materials, not in quality. Our products meet the same standards and are produced in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The proportion of recycled raw materials in Liberated Concrete is high, but varies by mix and application. We are continually working to increase this proportion. Would you like precise figures for a specific product or project? Request our EPD or get in touch.
We measure the full life cycle of our products, including the production process. Our factory in Zaandam runs on solar energy from the rooftop solar installation. The net CO₂ reduction of Liberated Concrete compared with traditional concrete is between 63% and 80%, even when the production process is taken into account.
Whether it’s circular concrete, a tender, or a potential partnership — or you simply have a question for our team — we’re ready to talk.
