| 摘要： | The materials used in road construction and maintenance have a significant impact on the carbon footprint of a project. For that reason, it is important that a full, holistic view is considered, including design impacts, durability and recyclability throughout their lifecycle and not just at the point of production and laying. Durability should play a key part in any assessment, which is something that many Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), for example, currently don't consider. Traditional practice in carbon tools, using outputs from commercially available EPDs, is to look specifically at cradle-to-gate impact figures, which, if taken in isolation, could unwittingly lead to more whole-life carbon intensive approaches being specified. For example, a product with higher initial carbon impacts may reduce the number of future maintenance interventions, or one with lower initial impacts may not be recyclable in the future. |
