Heidelberg Materials North America is pleased to announce it has
been selected for award negotiation to receive up to $5 million in
funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to
create a robust, web-based tool that can help ready-mix concrete,
cement and aggregate facilities to quickly produce high-quality
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).
The grants are part of EPA’s Reducing Embodied Greenhouse Gas
Emissions for Construction Materials and Products Grant. The
company was among a selection of 38 grant recipients across the
country, totaling nearly $160 million, to support efforts to report
and reduce climate pollution from the manufacturing of construction
materials and products.
“With this funding, Heidelberg Materials can accelerate the push
for more sustainable construction materials and transparency across
the industry while also helping our customers make more informed
decisions when choosing products with a lower carbon footprint,”
said Chris Ward, President & CEO of Heidelberg Materials North
America.
This latest acknowledgement highlights Heidelberg Materials
North America’s ongoing leadership in decarbonizing the industry
and reflects its strong commitment to growing its portfolio of more
sustainable products, digital technologies and customer-focused
solutions.
