Brussels (Eurotoday) – As part of its effort to boost sector competitiveness, the EU has issued new regulations regarding construction product safety and sustainability.
The latest Construction Products Regulation becomes operational today, revising 2011 rules in order to administer construction products being marketed much more freely around the single market, promoting innovative building techniques, and driving the industry to be more sustainable and competitive.

This also makes it easy to estimate the carbon footprint of the building.

Waste created in the construction of such units can reach 10-15% reductions via these technologies.

The European Union is an important institution that facilitates safety and sustainable construction products using its regulatory policy, particularly that of the CPR. The latter is formally known as Regulation (EU) No 305/2011, mainly enacted to coordinate the rules across the EU’s internal market and enable the free movement of products, which all need to present minimum performance values concerning safety and health, the environment, in general.
