The first report on ESSHB 1282, also known as the Buy Clean and Buy Fair Washington Act, initiates the state's efforts to lower embodied carbon in public construction projects. WACA and its members played a role in the legislative process and are part of the technical working group focused on ensuring that the development of Washington’s "Buy Clean and Buy Fair" policies is grounded in technical feasibility and accurate industry data.
The report summary outlines key advantages and challenges. Further analysis and collaboration will continue over the year, leading up to the second report’s due date.

Concrete is more than just a material. It’s about life—the past, the present, and building a sustainable future. The Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) is the worldwide voice for cement and concrete—the most widely used man-made product on Earth.
