Our vision is to be a leader in sustainable building materials, valued and respected by all stakeholders through the products we create.
We will achieve this through the development and manufacture of a range of high-performance OPC-free binders that have a substantially reduced Global Warming Potential (GWP), and enable the production of concrete with superior engineering properties.
SUSTAINABILITY
WHY IS OPC SO HARMFUL?
Although Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), the current main ingredient in concrete, has been instrumental in helping shape our built environment, it does leave a substantial carbon footprint.
It is widely acknowledged that cement production contributes a massive 8% to the world’s CO₂ emissions – 3 times more than the whole aviation industry. If cement were a country, it would be the third biggest source of emissions after China and the USA.
2.2 BILLION
tonnes CO₂
In 2016, the cement industry produced 2.2 billion tonnes of CO₂.
8% Global
CO₂ emissions
Just from one industry, cement production.
Concrete is the most widely used
man-made material in existence. It is second only to water as the most-consumed resource on the planet. Production is forecast to grow by as much as 38% by 2050 if no intervention is made.
Our mission is to provide a solution for intervention and climate change mitigation. Our patented binders not only contain ZERO OPC but also use by-products and wastes sourced from industries that would otherwise go to landfills. We have thus created products with at least a 65% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared with OPC.
