Today’s sustainability market requires environmental transparency, standardized environmental performance, and human health optimization pertinent to product ingredients. Further elevating these demands is the conversation around carbon emissions. Green building products and projects are increasingly scrutinized based on embodied carbon, and North American companies are more pursuant of “carbon neutral” and “net-zero” than ever before. It is important to understand green building rating programs, codes, purchasing requirements, regulatory and legislative directives driving the need for this information. This session provides an in-depth explanation of these drivers and related standards, tools, and initiatives available from the tile industry to satisfy market demands.
