Wienerberger Hartlebury Brickworks (Extruded)
The 9 clay bricks Wienerberger make at Hartlebury Brickworks, extruded formed — Arley Red Rustic, Clent Russet Mixture, Sunset Red Multi, Caldera Red Multi and others. Wienerberger declare by works rather than by brick, so every brick from this site shares one figure: 206 kgCO₂e per tonne. Across their ten UK works that figure runs from 183 to 398 — a factor of 2.2 inside one company, set mostly by how the brick is formed rather than by the clay.
Carbon and evidence
Product Evidence
Evidence currently held for the Wienerberger product record.
Recorded Carbon Result
A1–A3 GWP-total per tonne, for every brick made at Hartlebury Brickworks — Wienerberger declare by works, so the 9 bricks from this site share one figure. GWP-fossil is 210. Across their ten UK works the range is 183–398 kgCO2e/t, and the biggest single driver is the forming process: soft-mud stock bricks run far higher than extruded ones, most starkly at Hartlebury where the two lines on one site declare 398 and 206.

Keyed on the brickworks, not a single product — averaged over "multiple products", data year 2022. The works→brick mapping comes from Wienerberger's own EPD Summary Document, which is the only published source for it (product pages carry no factory field). Covers 9 named bricks: Arley Red Rustic, Clent Russet Mixture, Sunset Red Multi, Caldera Red Multi, Tabasco Red Multi, Tuscan Red Multi, Lydiate Red Multi, 73mm Arley Red Rustic, 73mm Mulcol. The same site also runs a soft-mud line declared separately at 398 kgCO2e/t — nearly double this figure for the same clay.
