The label program is made possible by a $100 million investment from the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act and aims to cut climate pollution linked to the production of construction products and materials, which accounts for more than 15% of annual global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Inflation Reduction Act invests billions of dollars to reduce industrial emissions while supporting good jobs, greater equity, and a strong manufacturing base, including $350 million to support EPA\u2019s efforts to reduce GHG emissions from construction materials.<\/div>\n<h2>Label Program Approach<\/h2>\n<div>On August 7, 2024, the EPA issued its Label Program Approach for Identifying Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials. The label program will define what constitutes \u201cclean\u201d construction materials in support of the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s landmark Buy Clean Initiative, which leverages the Federal Government\u2019s power as the world\u2019s largest purchaser to catalyze demand for clean construction materials used in federal buildings, highways, and infrastructure projects. Materials and products that earn the label will be listed in a central, publicly accessible registry, making it easier to identify\u2014and therefore purchase\u2014these materials.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The label program will prioritize steel, glass, asphalt, and concrete, as there are significant opportunities to reduce carbon emissions from these materials and they represent the vast majority of construction materials and products purchased with federal funds.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The EPA will implement the program using a phased approach that all material categories will be able to follow, at a cadence that aligns with the material\u2019s market maturity and data availability. The phases are:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Phase I:<\/strong> Data Quality Improvement. Standardizing and improving the quality of data underlying and provided by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase II:<\/strong> Threshold Setting. Using robust EPDs, data, and other credible and representative industry benchmarks to determine thresholds for specific material categories and types.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Phase III:<\/strong> Labeling Materials and Products. Labeling materials and products that meet EPA\u2019s criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>What Is Embodied Carbon?<\/h3>\n<p>Embodied carbon, also known as embodied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, refers to the amount of GHG emissions associated with upstream\u2014extraction, production, transport, and manufacturing\u2014stages of a product\u2019s life. Many initiatives to track, disclose, and reduce embodied carbon emissions also consider emissions associated with the use of a product and its disposal.<\/p>\n<h3>WHAT TO KNOW:<\/h3>\n<p>CO2 emissions are not going to become greener, but insulation materials are low embodied carbon products AND also prevent CO2 from being release into the environment at all.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Does it Matter?<\/h3>\n<p>The U.S. industrial sector is linked to nearly a third of annual U.S. GHG emissions, and the manufacturing of construction materials and products accounts for 15% of annual global GHG emissions. EPA is joined by 12 other federal agencies on the Buy Clean Task Force, who together account for 90% of all federally financed and purchased construction materials. Agencies are working to identify actions to reduce GHG emissions and climate change impacts comprehensively, including optimizing salvage, reuse, and low embodied carbon materials. Increasingly, states, local governments, and large public- and private-sector institutions have also adopted Buy Clean initiatives and policies to reduce embodied carbon emissions from the construction materials in their supply chains. Buy Clean policies and programs related to construction materials generally require disclosures of the environmental\u2014and especially the embodied carbon\u2014impacts of these products. These impacts are typically disclosed through Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Insulation materials have low embodied carbon. Many NIA members offer EPDs for their insulation materials.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div>The label program will offer a tiered rating system for construction materials and products. Thresholds will be informed by a public input process before being finalized; and they will be periodically reviewed and updated to encourage continuous improvement and help users meet sustainability objectives. The top-threshold tier will be designed to help recognize and reward innovative efforts to achieve deep reductions in embodied carbon associated with these construction materials and products.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>To earn the label, manufacturers will submit an EPD for their materials to demonstrate that they\u00a0meet the eligibility criteria. The label program will determine which recognition level a construction material is eligible for, based on information provided in the EPD. The EPA\u2019s label program will use a conformity assessment and verification approach for EPDs aligned with the existing EPD verification system and consistent with standards and best practices within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 17000 series,\u00a0as well as those required by EPA\u2019s Framework for Assessing Environmental Performance for Specifications, Standards, and Ecolabels for Federal Purchasing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The EPA published the Draft Label Program Approach in the Federal Register and accepted stakeholder input on this proposed approach through a 30-day public comment period. The draft program approach was also informed by public input received in response to a 2023 Request for Information (RFI) and input from other federal agencies, including\u00a0the Federal Highway Administration in the\u00a0Department of Transportation and the General\u00a0Services Administration.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Potential Inclusion of Additional Materials<\/h2>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The EPA will consider the inclusion of other materials in the label program as time and resources allow, and if materials sectors take the actions necessary to move through the phases of the label program, including:<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing and\/or updating the relevant product category rule to meet EPA Product\u00a0Category Rule Criteria, and<\/li>\n<li>Generating a sufficient number of EPDs to ensure there is representative data upon\u00a0which to create thresholds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>More information about how additional materials may be included in the program is provided on the EPA website (see \u201cImplementation Approach for the U.S. EPA Label Program for Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials\u201d in the Resources section).<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>Tips for Companies Seeking to\u00a0Participate in EPA&#8217;s Label Program<\/h2>\n<div><strong>1. Develop EPDs for the materials and\u00a0products your company manufactures.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>EPDs will be used to evaluate materials and products for inclusion in the label program.<\/div>\n<div>In the near future, EPA and its grantees will\u00a0provide no-cost technical assistance to help manufacturers develop EPDs. If you would like to receive additional information on how to receive this free assistance, please sign up to be added to the mailing list on the EPA\u2019s website.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>2. Reduce the embodied carbon in the materials and products your company manufactures.<\/strong> Through producing an EPD, manufacturers will be able to identify opportunities to reduce embodied carbon. Manufacturers who do not yet have an EPD developed can identify embodied carbon reduction options by reviewing the\u00a0life-cycle assessment used in the product\u00a0category rule for their material or product.<\/p>\n<div>Some common ways to reduce the embodied carbon of construction materials and products, while maintaining performance standards, include the following.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Manage energy and invest in energy-efficient upgrades: EPA\u2019s ENERGY STAR Industrial Program offers manufacturers technical support to help them reduce the embodied carbon of their materials and products.Join ENERGY STAR\u2019s Industrial Assistance Network to receive training, tools, and individual coaching.
