Leca® Reuse Receives Verified EPD – A Big Step Forward for Sustainable Construction
At Leca International, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We're proud to announce that Leca® Reuse – our recycled lightweight aggregate produced by Leca Finland – now has a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). This marks a major milestone in our journey toward circular construction and lower carbon emissions.
Reusing materials in construction is one of the most effective ways to reduce environmental impact. With Leca Reuse, we’re demonstrating how reclaimed materials can be given a second life — maintaining performance while dramatically reducing their carbon footprint.
Sustainable Performance Without Compromise
Leca Reuse is made from reclaimed material, yet it retains all the trusted qualities of traditional Leca LWA: it's lightweight, load-bearing, and CE-marked. It offers the same strength and reliability that engineers and builders expect, but with a significant advantage — a much lower environmental impact.
A Verified EPD with Impressive Results
The newly published EPD confirms Leca Reuse's sustainability credentials. According to the verified data, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) for stages A1–A4 is just 8 kg CO₂-eq/m³. This is a substantial reduction compared to conventional materials, making Leca Reuse an ideal choice for low-emission fills and infrastructure applications.
Leading the Way in Circular Construction
By turning reclaimed aggregate into a high-quality, CE-marked product, Leca Finland is setting a new benchmark in sustainable building practices. Leca Reuse shows how circular economy principles can be implemented in real-world projects—reducing waste, saving energy, and cutting emissions.
Whether you're working on roads, railways, or foundation fills, Leca Reuse gives you a smarter, greener way to build.
Join Us on the Journey to a Low-Carbon Future
Leca International continues to support innovation that leads to more sustainable construction. With the verified EPD for Leca Reuse, we’re empowering the industry to make more informed, responsible material choices.
