How do we achieve the carbon saving?

CCP Greenbloc technology is based on reducing cement which is the key material in concrete that contributes the highest amount of carbon. We replace the cement with low and ultra-low carbon cement alternative materials that can be manipulated to perform in the same way as cement.

I’m a builders merchant. Will I have to stock two types of block – a standard OPC block and a lower carbon Greenbloc?

No, you will only need to stock one block as the blocks from CCP are low carbon as standard. This means that you can stock just one type of block from your yard which will cater for those customers who want a lower carbon option, but you can also sell the same block for those customers who just want a concrete block and aren’t concerned about sustainability (even though they should be).

Do your standard blocks which feature the Greenbloc technology have the same fire resistance as a conventional block?

Yes they do. There is no difference. All Greenbloc products perform to the same specification, performance, quality and aesthetic characteristics as 100% cement versions.

Do your blocks have the same u value?

Yes they do. Our low carbon Greenbloc blocks have the same performance, same cost and lower carbon footprint.

Will the blocks last as long?

Yes they will. All Greenbloc products perform to the same specification, performance, quality and aesthetic characteristics as 100% cement versions.
