WHAT IS REAL GREEN CONCRETE?
Concrete produced from Real Green Concrete “RGC” binder is exactly that. Our binder contains no Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
RGC BINDER AND ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION
RGC binder uses industrial by-products and wastes to reduce landfill impact and significantly cut carbon emissions from traditional OPC production.
INNOVATIVE FORMULATIONS
FOR CLIMATE IMPACT
Our patented binder formulations offer substantial potential for climate change mitigation by lowering Global Warming Potential (GWP) by at least 68% compared to OPC.
BENEFITS OVER OPC
Recent trials show that RGC binder requires a minimum of 10% less cement, results in 5% lighter concrete, and uses less water, making it environmentally and economically advantageous.
FLEXIBLE PERFORMANCE
AND FAST SETTING
RGC binder offers flexible setting times tailored to project needs, with the ability to achieve initial strength rapidly for mould striking in as little as 8 to 10 hours.
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT
Utilising RGC binder not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances construction efficiency and sustainability, contributing positively to climate change efforts.
OUR HISTORY
Real Green Concrete is the invention of Dr Aissa Bouaissi, a chemical engineer. With experience in academia and industry, he discovered a chemical process that triggers the hardening of the mixture through activation rather than the crystallisation and hydration typical of OPC.
His process is meticulously calculated and can be adjusted to suit various concrete applications. Because it relies on a chemical reaction, both liquid and powder chemical forms can be used to reactivate the binders, allowing for a wide range of waste materials to be incorporated into the matrix.
VISION AND VALUES
Our vision is to bring a new material to the Construction Industry that significantly lowers its carbon footprint by providing an OPC-free solution to the sector.
The production of OPC generates carbon-based pollution three times higher than the total emissions from global aviation annually. While we do not anticipate a complete halt in OPC production worldwide, increasing awareness of a carbon-efficient alternative in construction across more countries can significantly contribute to reducing global environmental harm.
Sea levels are rising, flooding is an increasing problem, and the Environment Agency (EA) has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. There is a demand for fast-setting products to be employed in tidal and river environments. Our products’ outstanding resistance to acid/alkaline attack and chloride diffusion will provide significant benefits
Precast work in the form of bridges, sewers, cladding, retaining walls, paviours and specialist items like staircases, beams, and floors need a rapid hardening, high-strength concrete that is competitively priced. Currently, moulds are generally turned around in 24 hours. The use of RGC can double production without heat to aid the process.
