The National Asphalt Pavement Association, a grant winner, is working to expand use of environmental product declarations among asphalt pavement manufacturers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency estimates that construction materials used for buildings and built infrastructure account for more than 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The agency now hopes to boost adoption of materials with lower embodied emissions by offering $160 million in grants to better track and ultimately reduce climate pollution associated with those materials.
