ECOPact is the industry's broadest range of low-carbon concrete for high-performing, sustainable and circular construction.
The built environment’s reinforced focus on carbon has placed considerable attention on concrete. As a key driver of embodied carbon of structures, concrete is often the first avenue where designers and builders seek to reduce carbon by optimizing mix designs. Several performance requirements also ...
CarbonBuilt, a rapidly growing low-carbon concrete startup, announced on Wednesday that it has\nbegun commercial production of its climate-friendly concrete, together with concrete masonry\nproduction partner Blair Block. The companies also have their first commercial customer lined up,\nmarking a ...
concrete binder is not met. A sustainable low carbon green concrete is one whose binder is not completely cement and the coarse aggregate replaced with lightweight from recycled waste. The issue of concrete cracking,sulphate attack, alkalisilicareaction (ASR),reinforcement corrosion, thermal anddrying...
Tarmac low-carbon concrete mixes, the solution of choice. Tarmac, A CRH Company, has successfully trialled the use of two low-carbon concrete mixes at the Hexham Flood Alleviation Scheme in the northeast of England. The scheme includes more than 600 metres of flood walls and grass embankm...
Like any airport, Heathrow uses a large volume of concrete, so it is working to achieve the lowest possible levels of ’embodied carbon’. Not satisfied just with adopting best practice, Heathrow is pushing the boundaries in low carbon concrete, collaborating across the industry to find the...
CarbonBuilt's commercially available Reversa® Binder technology reduces the carbon footprint of concrete and provides permanent, verifiable carbon reductions.
reduce carbon emissions concentrates on more than just our processes. We also focus on key levers such as the building material concrete. We must understand that in the future, using concrete for construction is unavoidable. So, we need to work together to make concrete construction more eco-...
Concrete: A Harder-to-Abate Sector Despite this, however, concrete accounts for about 8% of global CO2emissions in total[7].In fact, if the cement industry were a country, it would emit the third largest amount of CO2behind China and the US. ...
