Eco-Brick

Wienerberger has not published an EPD or a quantified carbon figure for this product, so nothing on this card is numerical. The guidance below is qualitative — drawn from the product record and curated category knowledge — for early design discussion, not for figures.

Checked 2026-08-06: there is still no published Eco-brick EPD. Wienerberger's brick EPD download list holds a summary document, ten UK works declarations (HUB-4851–4860), and Netherlands and Belgium declarations — no Eco-brick among them. Where it is made, from the Eco-brick brochure's own "Production factory" column: Warnham Red, Chartham Multi and Red Orange Blend at Warnham (West Sussex); Pampas, Haywood Red, Jado Red, Pelham Antique and Muria Yellow at Lanaken, Belgium. The brochure footnote states "All measurements are based on Eco-bricks produced in our Warnham factory". Warnham's HUB-4860 is not attached here because that declaration covers Warnham's 2021 standard brick production. Eco-brick is a 36% slimmer profile claiming a 31% upfront embodied-carbon reduction from less material and less firing energy per brick. Per tonne those are different products off different firing schedules, so borrowing the works figure would produce a plausible wrong number rather than an approximation. Also considered and set aside: UK_EPD_UK_Clay_Brick_202402.pdf on the same site is the Brick Development Association's industry-average clay brick EPD (BREG EN EPD 000002), EN 15804+A1, and it expired on 18 February 2024.

Next step: request a current product EPD or manufacturer carbon declaration.
