Speaker: Brad McAllister, Partner/Director of WAP Sustainability
With the upcoming launch of NAPA’s Emerald Eco-Label program, it is critical that Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) users understand the process involved in creating an EPD program. Additionally, producers who create EPDs for their asphalt mixtures need to know who is requesting EPDs and how to use the outputs of the tool. This webinar will provide the participant with the necessary information to talk with clients and owners about Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Product Category Rules (PCRs), EPDs, and how to use them correctly. This is the first of two webinars required for accessing the EPD tool.
