Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
C32/40 SKB VCT<0,5 Gen 0
Technical purpose of product or process The product declared in this EPD is ready-mix concrete for infrastructure (anläggningsbetong), delivered without reinforcement bars. The production site is Malmberget, Sweden. Technical specifications: Strength class: C32/40 Exposure class: XC4, XF1, XA1 V/C ratio: <0,45 To categorize the carbon footprint of each concrete recipe, LKAB Berg & Betong uses the Swedish concrete association (sv: Svensk Betong) guidelines for ready-mix concrete . For each 10 % reduction in carbon footprint compared to the industry standard for that particular application (Generation 0), the recipe advances one level (or generation). LKAB has defined the industry standard applicable for the arctic condition in which we operate, which is the Gen 0 that we compare against. This recipe classifies as Gen 0, see table below.

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.
