Learn more about the Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders’ Alliance (MECLA)

The Materials & Embodied Carbon Leaders’ Alliance (MECLA) is a collaboration of organisations coming together to drive reductions in embodied carbon in the building and construction industry. If you have any question or want to get involved, please contact [email protected]

As part of MECLA’s work to drive a market transition, MECLA needs your help by answering the questions below. Your responses will be shared with MECLA working group members to:

understand the current landscape of sources that relate to the specification and procurement of low-carbon building materials

The survey cannot be saved but don’t worry it will only take about 5 minutes to complete.
