Teichert Aggregates: EPD coverage in one quick look

Who Teichert is and where they play

Teichert Materials sits inside the broader Teichert group, supplying Northern and Central California with aggregates, asphalt mixes, and select ready‑mix concrete. Their footprint spans quarries and hot plants that feed DOT, municipal, and commercial work across the region (Teichert Materials).

What they sell

The catalog is broad. Think aggregate base, drain rock, sands, riprap, decorative boulders, plus dense‑graded and rubberized asphalt mixes, warm mixes, and emulsions. Portable crushing and recycling add jobsite flexibility, especially for reclaimed concrete and RAP (Aggregate Products, Recycled Products + Portables).

Portfolio size, roughly

Across all plants, the SKU count runs into the hundreds when you add up asphalt mix designs, emulsions, and concrete mixes. Aggregate SKUs land in the dozens per market. It is a multi‑product supplier rather than a pure play in one material.

EPD coverage at a glance

Teichert shows strong, plant‑specific EPD coverage for asphalt mixtures in California. Ready‑mix concrete has coverage, though not at the same scale as asphalt. We did not find current aggregate EPDs published by Teichert as of December 18, 2025. That gap matters on projects where owners prefer product‑specific declarations across major materials to avoid defaulting to conservative, penalized factors in carbon accounting.

A timing watch‑out for asphalt EPDs

Many asphalt EPDs in the U.S. were created under the NAPA Asphalt Mixtures PCR v2, which set a common expiration of March 31, 2027 for declarations issued to that rule. Renewals move under the newer PCR version afterward (NAPA Asphalt Mixtures PCR guidance, 2024). If several of Teichert’s mix EPDs sit on that cycle, teams should plan updates early so specs do not go stale mid‑pursuit.

The likely blind spot: aggregates

Aggregates often lag other materials on EPDs, yet that is changing. The U.S. aggregates association has been building the infrastructure to standardize and scale aggregate EPDs, which lowers the barrier for producers to publish them (NSSGA program updates, 2025). Teichert’s high‑volume sellers like 3/4 inch crushed aggregate, base rock, or Class 2 AB are prime candidates. Getting those covered turns a common substitution risk into a non‑issue.

Competitive set Teichert meets most often

Materially similar competitors in California and the West include Granite Construction for asphalt mixes, Knife River for asphalt and ready‑mix, CalPortland and CEMEX for ready‑mix and cement, and Vulcan Materials and Martin Marietta in aggregates. Several of these peers already publish extensive, plant‑level EPD libraries for asphalt and concrete. Where aggregate EPDs are available from peers in select markets, they can become a tiebreaker in agency work.

Why this matters commercially right now

Two forces are tightening specs. First, LEED v5 was ratified on March 28, 2025 and continues to nudge design teams toward product‑specific EPDs to document embodied carbon with fewer assumptions (USGBC, 2025). Second, California’s transportation owner requires EPDs on larger asphalt and concrete jobs, for example asphalt projects over 2,250 tons and concrete over 250 cubic yards, which turns EPDs from “nice‑to‑have” into table stakes on many bids (CalCIMA, 2025). Miss an EPD and teams often assign a conservative emissions factor, which can push a product out of contention even if the performance is great.

A practical playbook to close gaps

Start with the revenue line. List the ten highest‑volume aggregate SKUs per plant, then prioritize EPDs for those. Pick PCRs that match competitor practice so reviewers see a like‑for‑like. Lock the reference year and line up utility, blasting, crushing, screening, and transport data at the plant level. The heavy lift is data wrangling across sites, so an LCA partner that handles internal data collection and scheduling frees plant and quality teams to run operations. That is how EPDs land fast without turning into a months‑long distraction.

Bottom line

Teichert looks well covered on asphalt and present on concrete. Aggregates appear to be the enviromental reporting gap with the most upside. Fill that gap, plan for the 2027 asphalt EPD refresh, and the materials portfolio stays easy to specify instead of easy to swap.
