Abstract:
Through policy and legislation, public infrastructure owners are beginning to procure construction materials with reduced environmental impact by primarily focusing on global warming potential. These efforts are commendable and coincide with the cement and concrete industry’s efforts to be net zero by 2050. The concrete industry has been a leader in benchmarking it’s environmental footprint and transparently reporting through the development of Environmental Product Declarations for over a decade. This presentation will highlight these efforts and discuss further enhancements made to meet public procurement policies.
