Hawaii HB787 mandates a study on implementing a "buy clean" policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in public infrastructure projects.
Hawaii HB787 directs the Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission to study the feasibility of a "buy clean" policy for public infrastructure projects. This policy would require environmental product declarations for eligible materials and prioritize bids using materials with the lowest global warming potential. The study will analyze best practices, standards, and scientific evidence, with a report due by 2027. The bill aims to leverage Hawaii's purchasing power to reduce upstream industrial greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials.
