"The U.S. government is uniquely positioned to influence sustainability through its procurement activities. [...] We manage over 350,000 buildings, 600,000 vehicles, and nearly one in every five acres of land in the United States."
"We are really excited to leverage our purchasing power for this work," said Johanna Anderson, special adviser for implementation at the EPA, regarding the Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials Program.
"The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act directed the EPA to develop a determination for 'Substantially Lower Embodied Carbon Construction Materials' for the General Services Administration and Federal Highway Administration."
"Embodied carbon of construction materials accounts for 15 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Most strategies to reduce embodied carbon of construction materials take place long before they arrive at a construction site."
