We are thrilled to announce the 1st delivery of our Greenbloc blocks to our friends at Swift Brickwork Contractors Ltd for the exciting sustainable development at the Daubeny Project at the Oxford Science Park, in collaboration with Mace.

The new buildings have been meticulously designed with sustainability at their core, and the decision to use our Greenbloc blocks is a game-changer.

With an impressive reduction of up to 80% in carbon emissions compared to traditional OPC blocks, Greenbloc offers a compelling, eco-friendly alternative. This project marks the beginning of an exciting partnership between CCP and Swift – a company that not only leads the Brickwork industry but also shares our unwavering commitment to decarbonising the built environment.

Michael Roddy, Managing Director of SigmaRoc said ”There’s no shortage of conversation about reducing carbon in the built environment – what could be done, what might be done in the future. But real impact comes from those taking action now. That’s where we focus our support.

At CCP our full range of ultra-low carbon concrete blocks, GreenBloc (powered by GreenCem), delivers up to an 80% carbon saving over traditional blocks. No future promises—just tangible reductions today.

While others discuss, the team at Swift Brickwork are delivering huge carbon savings across live projects. Their commitment to low-carbon solutions is driving a growing pipeline of ambitious projects, and we’re proud to support their success.

A long-time leader in reducing carbon across its vast project portfolio, Mace continues to set the standard. We admire their drive and look forward to continued collaboration across our businesses.”

Tim Capey, Group General Manager for PPG said “Greenbloc provides architects and specifiers with a straightforward solution that is no longer cost prohibitive, enabling them to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of their projects. We are excited to watch this innovative development take shape.”
