Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is no longer a nice-to-have \u2014 it is rapidly becoming a legal and commercial requirement under frameworks such as the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR 2024\/3110) and Italy&#8217;s CAM Strade criteria for road infrastructure, updated in September 2025.<\/p>\n\n<p>To meet this challenge head-on, Maccaferri is proud to announce the launch of <strong>MacCycle Assessment<\/strong>, a dedicated LCA calculation tool integrated into the company&#8217;s free eDesign software platform. Accessible at any time at <a href=\"https:\/\/edesign.maccaferri.com\/HomeHub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">edesign.maccaferri.com<\/a>, it enables engineers and designers to run rigorous environmental comparisons from the earliest stages of project development.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"959\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image19.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image19.jpeg 959w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image19-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image19-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image19-120x67.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 959px) 100vw, 959px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"638\" height=\"318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image21.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image21.jpeg 638w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image21-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image21-120x60.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3477433bd9b439c47677730675fcf42d\" style=\"color:#004651\">What Does MacCycle Assessment Do?<\/h3>\n\n<p>MacCycle Assessment performs full cradle-to-grave LCA calculations \u2014 covering life cycle modules A1 through C4 \u2014 in accordance with <strong>ISO 14040, ISO 14044<\/strong> and <strong>EN 17472<\/strong>. The software uses the Global Warming Potential (GWP) indicator to quantify greenhouse gas emissions, expressed in kg CO\u2082 equivalent, providing a single, transparent metric that is universally understood by engineers, clients, and regulators alike.<\/p>\n\n<p>The tool supports two calculation modes. The <em>Parametric mode<\/em> requires only a handful of project inputs \u2014 site location, production facility, transport distances, and wall or bank geometry \u2014 and automatically sizes the structure, then outputs the total GWP for each life cycle stage. The <em>Custom mode<\/em>, coming soon, will allow users to input bespoke material quantities for project-specific analyses.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e7c508e4ffaccbcfdfc62c6604c324b\" style=\"color:#004651\">Applications Currently Available<\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Retaining Walls<\/strong> \u2014 Compares <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/products\/gabions\/\">Gabions<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/products\/terramesh\/\">TerraMesh System<\/a>, and concrete cantilever solutions for wall heights up to 10 m, designed to Eurocode 7 \/ FHWA \/ AASHTO with a 120-year service life.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Riverbank Protection<\/strong> \u2014 Compares <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/products\/reno-mattress-plus\/\">Reno Mattress Plus<\/a> against rip-rap and concrete lining, accounting for optimised stone usage, transport, and end-of-life scenarios.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Culverts &amp; Geosynthetics<\/strong> \u2014 Work in progress; coming in a future release.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><p><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-092a5f0152145d7478eb61ddab015da1\" style=\"color:#004651\">The Results Speak for Themselves<\/h3>\n\n<p>Early project analyses demonstrate the significant carbon advantage of Maccaferri wire mesh technologies over conventional concrete structures. For retaining walls, <strong>Gabion <\/strong>solutions <strong>can reduce total GWP by up to 80%<\/strong>, while the <strong>TerraMesh System achieves reductions of up to 90%<\/strong> \u2014 driven largely by the elimination of cement, which accounts for approximately 91% of concrete&#8217;s environmental impact. Transport contributes 13\u201315% of total emissions for Gabion and TerraMesh scenarios, underlining the importance of local stone sourcing.<\/p>\n\n<p>For riverbank protection, <strong>Reno Mattress Plus reduces total emissions by up to 87%<\/strong> compared to concrete lining and up to 40% compared to conventional rip-rap. When vegetated solutions are adopted with locally sourced stone, carbon sequestration can reduce net emissions even further \u2014 with modelled scenarios showing up to 94% reduction in total emissions for Reno Mattress Plus.<\/p>\n\n<p>Beyond GWP, Maccaferri solutions offer additional sustainability advantages: zero end-of-life disposal impact, potential for recycled content, compatibility with green and vegetated facing options, and a design service life of <strong>120 years<\/strong> requiring zero scheduled maintenance.<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image46-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image46-1.jpeg 481w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image46-1-300x168.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image46-1-120x67.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/><div class=\"wp-block-mac-container-block box-container\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image20.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-88723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image20.jpeg 723w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image20-300x224.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.maccaferri.com\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image20-120x89.jpeg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\"><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eea2fb36830dfe79f75e42cd9716e6ff\" style=\"color:#004752\">Aligned with Global Standards and Regulations<\/h3>\n\n<p>MacCycle Assessment&#8217;s methodology is grounded in the leading <strong>international and European standards for LCA in construction<\/strong>.
