Reducing CO2 Emissions in Concrete
Concrete production is responsible for about 8% of global man-made CO2 emissions, with up to 90% coming from cement clinker production. Replacing clinker with limestone filler or supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) can significantly cut emissions but impacts concrete performance. Admixtures help overcome these challenges, ensuring low-clinker concrete meets performance standards and supports sustainable construction practices.
Returned Concrete Recycling
Returned concrete is a significant waste issue in Australia and globally. Despite advancements in batching and weighing systems, errors and site changes still lead to trucks returning with leftover loads. Concrete admixtures offer a sustainable solution by enabling the recycling of returned concrete without crushing, allowing the treated material to be used for road base, back-fill, or as a partial aggregate replacement in new concrete.
ECO2NOW™ Concrete Calculator
Rising costs make sustainable action challenging, but economic efficiency and sustainability can coexist. ECO2NOW™ is an analysis tool for concrete addressing rising energy and raw material prices and the need for low-carbon concrete recipes. It optimizes concrete recipes by comparing embodied carbon (CO2 emissions) and costs, providing a comprehensive solution that balances ecological and economic factors.
