Reducing your emissions one block at a time
The necessity to limit global warming to no more than 1.5ºC above pre-industrial levels has been well documented and publicised. The science could not be any clearer. The world has to reduce CO2 emissions to as close to zero as possible by the middle of this century.
The UK Government has committed to reaching net zero by 2050 and every business, organisation and individual has a part to play in achieving this.
Concrete is the most used material on the planet and as a consequence is a significant contributor of CO2. Up to 90% of greenhouse gas emissions associated with concrete are in the cement*. As a building material, concrete cannot be matched.
But as the world’s third highest source of man-made CO2, greener options have become of even greater importance.
As a major precast concrete manufacturer we recognise the contribution we can make to help our customers lower their carbon footprint and this is now our major driver within the business.
