  7. E60 Scope Scope: Standards Relating to Sustainability and Sustainable Development Support and Serve as Resource “Incubator” or “Consultant” Will Not Duplicate the Efforts of Existing ASTM Committees Challenges Horizontal Committees – Could cross many committees Reason BEAC wants to understand more about E60 Reason BEAC identified sustainability as major issue Vertical (Silo) Committees – Typical ASTM committee 7

  8.
