CIty of Portland Concrete EPD puchasing policy

Policy
3

Hi there. The GWP thresholds won’t be established until April 2021. The thresholds will likley be infomed by much of the same data that was used to set the Marin County thresholds. Things like:

  • NRMCA regional benchmarks
  • Local EPDs
  • Local Engineering benchmark study
  • Local discussion with concrete producers, contractors, engineers
  • Local pilot studies
  • Other data

Unlike Buy Clean CA, the formula for setting the threshold is not laid out in the policy. Instead, it will be based on a variety of sources and the best available information at the time. Hope this helps!
