With LEED v4 being discovered in building construction documents and specifications, material suppliers are investing into disclosure reports, specifically environmental product declarations (EPD). As a leading Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) Program Operator for the concrete industry, NRMCA recently verified an EPD by Producer member Maschmeyer Concrete Company of Florida, Inc. The life-cycle assessment and EPD was developed by Athena Sustainable Materials Institute and verified by Climate Earth. The EPD consists of 30 concrete mix designs from three plants located in the Orlando market.
To date, the U.S and Canada ready mixed concrete industry, including material suppliers, have verified 36 EPDs with a total of 9,545 products and is a leading industry that reports environmental impacts.
Integral to the Build With Strength campaign, NRMCA promotes Strength Through Transparency for member and industry competitiveness in the green building marketplace and the trends toward product and company transparency.
