This informative article in Concrete InFocus by: Chris Erickson, President & Chief Executive Officer, Climate Earth, Inc., Katie Poss, Director Sustainability Initiatives, NRMCA; and Lionel Lemay, Executive Vice President of Structures and Sustainability provides valuable insights into:

- the origin story of EPDs (environmental product declarations) and their evolution into an easy, digital and on-demand solution
- how EPDs measure and provide transparent information on the global warming potential of concrete and
- how EPDs help concrete producers innovate their concrete mix designs to achieve true reductions in carbon’s impact on the climate.

Now digital, on-demand EPDs are helping concrete producers win more bids and be dynamic and impactful change-agents for achieving reductions in carbon.
