Abstract:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the selection of 38 grant recipients across the country, totaling nearly 160 million USD, to support efforts to report and reduce climate pollution from the manufacturing of construction products. The grants will be awarded to businesses, universities, and nonprofit organizations serving all 50 states and will help disclose the environmental impacts associated with manufacturing concrete, asphalt, glass, steel, wood, and other materials.
