NRMCA Sustainability Certifications

The ready mixed concrete industry is dedicated to upholding the principles of sustainable development—development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs—by attempting to balance social, economic and environmental impacts. NRMCA has developed several programs to help concrete producers meet the challenges of sustainability:

NRMCA EPD Program

EPDs are third party verified (certified) reports published by product manufacturers that provide quality assured and comparable information regarding environmental performance of their product.
