Wienerberger Waresley Brickworks (Soft Mud)
The 19 clay bricks Wienerberger make at Waresley Brickworks, soft mud formed — Brookhurst Yellow Multi, Yellow Gilt Stock, Yellow Multi Gilt Stock, Blended Red Multi Gilt Stock and others. Wienerberger declare by works rather than by brick, so every brick from this site shares one figure: 202 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 Waresley Brickworks — Wienerberger declare by works, so the 19 bricks from this site share one figure. GWP-fossil is 206. 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 19 named bricks: Brookhurst Yellow Multi, Yellow Gilt Stock, Yellow Multi Gilt Stock, Blended Red Multi Gilt Stock, Blended Orange Gilt Stock, Smoked Orange Multi Gilt Stock, Orange Multi Gilt Stock, Smoked Yellow Multi Gilt Stock, New Red Multi Gilt Stock, Kingshust Multi, Trinity Cream Gilt Stock, Trinity Cream Multi Gilt Stock, Woodhurst Red Multi, Dewhurst Orange Multi, Thornton Red Blend, Waresley Orange Stock, Waresley Red Stock, Nuthurst Red Multi, Charthurst Red Multi. This declaration and the Waresley extruded one print byte-identical GWP-biogenic and C1–D rows across every indicator (confirmed by rendering both at 200 dpi). Almost certainly a shared packaging and end-of-life dataset — defensible, but the two are not independent on those modules. Their fossil A1–A3 figures do differ correctly.
