The Environment and Global CO2 Impact

The world's 2nd most used material behind water and one of the world’s biggest CO₂ emitters.

Global CO₂ Impact

The environment and global CO2 impact caused by concrete production is growing year on year and there are no suitable alternative materials so it is essential that we optimise the use of concrete and improve the efficiency of the supply chain. The facts speak for themselves:

Construction Site - excavating

Concrete is responsible for 8% global CO₂

Heap of the damaged concrete blocks. Construction debris.

Around 5% of all concrete is wasted

Front-end loader works in a landfill for the disposal of construction waste and other debris. Industrial waste treatment processing factory

That's 500 million tonnes to landfill
