The CEO & Founder of Enperas attended to explore carbon and ESG related regulatory challenges
The CEO & Founder of Enperas attended to explore carbon and ESG related regulatory challenges and practical applications under current and upcoming 2026 regulations.
"Introduction to Carbon Footprint Regulations"
Gilles Vanvolsem, Managing Director of the Green Building Council of Belgium, opened the event and introduced all upcoming Carbon Footprint Regulations, highlighting Belgium’s regulatory complexity across its three regions (Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders) for the implementation of European Directives and regulations.
Among other topics, the presentation highlighted Belgium’s pioneering role on embodied carbon. The Totem tool, a joint initiative of the three regions since 2011, enables life cycle assessment using Belgian materials and products, accounting for embodied carbon and offering a broader environmental score to cover the full environmental impact.
At Enperas we were very happy that Gilles introduced all the LCA and EPD acronyms and we could move forward with the presentation of Aliplast’s LCA-ecodesign efforts, the 6 B-EPDs published and the results of the 8 upcoming B-EPDs.
The Green Building Council of Belgium brings together stakeholders across the construction and real estate value chain to create a common language, provide clarity, and guide the sector’s transition to a more sustainable future.
"Sustainable Built Expertise"
Els Uvyn from Aliplast demonstrated “Sustainable built expertise” by highlighting the importance of the distinction between environmental impact during the construction phase and the use phase of a building as intended by the new EPBD. She also introduced, Aluloop, Aliplast’s take back scheme to recycle Aluminium windows and presented Aliplast’s environmental product solutions obtained by the entanglement of Cradle2Cardle with LCA with the simple market communication that all your aluminium windows of today will be used as raw materials for future windows.
