MRC contracted with Scope 3 Consulting to conduct a life cycle analysis (LCA) of our California operations in 2021. The purpose of the LCA was to describe and measure the environmental impacts and benefits to establish baseline environmental performance parameters for the program. The LCA analysis found significantly favorable environmental benefits in a number of key areas including the displacement of greenhouse gases. An independent review by an external panel of industry experts and an LCA practitioner confirmed the findings in the original report. The LCA is now a living document which establishes a benchmark by which future technologies will be evaluated. The Annex, which reflects today’s environment, shows further environmental benefits over the original work.
