Green says more projects are requiring them and many companies are creating the documents to have a library of resources at the ready for when projects come up. An EPD created by BASF not only fulfills the ISO stan- dards; it also provides the environmental results that can be used for internal process improvements. “Through the document, opportunities to improve operating efficiencies can be identified including energy use, waste generation and consumptive water use.” Based on Product Category Rules (PCRs) for North America, Green says a BASF EPD can be developed for ei- ther side of the border. Green says BASF is the first admixture company in North America to act as a supplier of EPDs to the industry and he considers it part of the company’s role in helping its cus- tomers be more successful through solutions beyond the product. He says BASF will continue to evolve the EPD service to include new PCRs for different concrete prod- ucts. “We started with the ready mix industry, added con- crete masonry products and are moving into precast now. We will work to ensure all concrete industry sectors are covered for this requirement.” Heavily involved with associations at the regional, inter- national and global level, he says the company is always looking for new ideas and innovation that might resonate with customers elsewhere. “We’re constantly upgrading and updating to stay ahead on our deliverables. We have a close relationship to our customers and constantly work to support their current and future needs.” Green says BASF works to be a true partner to its cus- tomers, spending time in their plants, ensuring they have a full understanding of each customer’s business and each customer’s unique needs.
