The Cement Criteria and the Green Cement label under the Singapore Green Label Scheme are not equivalent.
The Singapore Green Label Scheme applies to individual products; it allows certified products to earn points toward a project’s Green Mark rating. Products with higher ratings under the SGBP Scheme contribute more points to the Green Mark certification of the building project.
On the other hand, the Cement Criteria focus on cement production facilities. Section 7.3 on Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) Assessment acknowledges the integration of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in cement manufacturing. Facilities must meet specified emission intensity thresholds within a defined timeframe, aligned with the 1.5°C decarbonization pathway. Achieving these targets requires bundling RCA with additional deep decarbonization measures, as RCA alone may be insufficient.
