InSyNC is a neutral, technically grounded forum connecting industry, academia, and agencies — keeping momentum on embodied carbon and life-cycle thinking moving.
This is our first group meeting — please join us and invite others.
Thursday
August 20, 2026
12:00 PM EDT · Virtual · ~90 min
Open to anyone working on sustainable infrastructure. Please forward to colleagues who should be in the conversation.
RSVP / Get the inviteAgencies, industry, and researchers lack a central, neutral place to share what works, coordinate on implementation, and talk across traditionally siloed organizations. InSyNC is that place.
The technical scope starts where our members are strongest — pavement and highway sustainability — and grows deliberately into broader infrastructure as capacity builds.
Reducing the embodied carbon of materials — asphalt, concrete, aggregates, and binders across the pavement system.
Advancing and harmonizing Product Category Rules and Environmental Product Declarations across materials and regions.
Engaging early on state and federal policy, "Buy Clean"-type procurement, and legislation — before it's finalized.
Supporting consistent, science-based cradle-to-grave and cradle-to-gate life-cycle assessment approaches.
Moving from pilot projects to standard practice — documenting successes and failures and building agency capacity.
Communicating the non-carbon value of sustainable practice: durability, lifecycle cost, and performance.
An independent, ad hoc collaborative — no formal nonprofit, no heavy administration. Just a durable, long-lasting forum built to deliver value immediately.
Contractors, material producers, consultants, researchers, DOTs, trade associations, and NGOs at one table.
Structured to avoid dependence on any single funding source or political moment.
Begin focused and manageable; expand membership, scope, and activity as momentum builds.
A clearinghouse of guidance, data, and case studies — the "how," not just the "why."
InSyNC is open and voluntary. If you work on sustainable infrastructure — in industry, academia, or an agency — there's a seat for you in the conversation.
