Stichting NMD updates end-of-life scenarios
The end-of-life scenarios (EOL scenarios) describe what happens to construction products and materials at the end of their service life. This takes into account, among other things, reuse, recycling, incineration, landfilling and leaving materials in place. These scenarios form an important part of the life cycle assessment (LCA) and contribute to a consistent calculation of the environmental performance of construction products.
What has changed?
In this update, the existing scenarios have been reassessed. A number of scenarios have been adjusted, some have been discontinued and new scenarios have been added. The aim is to align the scenarios better with current insights and available data.
Ingangsdatum en overgangsperiode
The updated EOL scenarios can be applied from 1 January 2027. To give LCA practitioners and other parties involved sufficient time to switch, a transition period of six months applies. From 1 July 2027, use of the new EOL scenarios is mandatory.
Available documentation
