Many industries and companies are rushing to develop EPDs and product category rules (PCRs). The concrete industry is no exception. But difficulties have arisen due to lack of standardization of life-cycle stages, functional units, environmental impact categories, data quality, and allocation. This paper will discuss these challenges for the U.S. concrete industry related to development of PCRs and EPDs.
