• Abstract:
  The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) funded this project to assess the current state-of-the-practice of EPDs in pavement material manufacturing; to educate stakeholders regarding pavement life cycle assessment (LCA) and EPDs; and to help develop protocols CDOT and pavement material producers can use to integrate EPDs that are uniquely suited to Colorado. The tasks of this study included a literature review, workshops for CDOT and industry partners, and recommendations for development of EPD protocols. The first workshop focused on internal CDOT employees, including pavement and materials engineers, project engineers, and estimators. The second workshop focused on external stakeholders, including contractors, materials producers, and trade association representatives. A summary of the feedback and discussions from the workshops are included in this report.
