Emerald Eco-Label 2.3.0 released: EPD tool gets an upgrade

NAPA’s tool for generating environmental product declarations (EPDs) for asphalt pavement mixes has new features in its latest version.

The Emerald Eco-Label tool includes calculations to measure biogenic carbon in pavement materials in version 2.3.0. The update also includes changes to binder additives to account for biogenic carbon, while fixing bugs.

Introducing the new features means existing mixes that include terminal-blended binder additives may see small changes values, and existing mixes using Ingevity Evotherm products will see updates to environmental impact values reflecting the latest published EPD data for Evotherm M1.

This update maintains alignment between Emerald Eco-Label results and Version 2 of NAPA’s EPD Benchmark report, and has undergone third-party verification.
