Lower-carbon levers	No levers surfaced yet.	Look for lower-clinker mixes, reused structure, and scope reductions before fine-grained product swaps. Prioritize recycled content, efficient sections, and procurement-specific EPD comparisons. Use classification and product-level EPD research to place this material more precisely.
