Due to market drivers (i.e., Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in green building standards, most notably LEED V4) NRMCA published version 1.0 of the Industry-Wide EPD (IW-EPD) in 2014. Seventy companies representing over 2,300 plants participated. Afterward, market EPD activity grew NRMCA-member pressure to amend the original IW-EPD to include additional companies and plants. So in 2016, NRMCA launched IW-EPD v2 report which included a revised total of 88 companies and 2,519 plants. With NRMCA members responding to LEED v4 projects, among other initiatives of product disclosure, NRMCA will now develop a third version of the IW-EPD in 2019. Please join NRMCA as we discuss renewing our industry-wide EPD and why your participation is needed.
The Webinar will be held on Thursday, January 17, from 2 to 3 p.m. Eastern time. Click here to register for Industry-Wide Environmental Product Declaration (IW-EPD) version 3 Project.
