A range of bespoke accelerators that aid with the cement replacement in concrete of up to 95%. GreenCem offers a more cost-effective solution whilst still providing similar carbon reduction benefits to cement-free (up to 80% reductions). Favoured in applications where compliance to standards maybe necessary or desired. Furthermore, GreenCem solutions incur little to no additional costs, both in terms of mix design and infrastructure, eliminating upfront investment barriers and facilitating the transition to economically viable, low-carbon concrete
CCP Building Products has integrated Greenbloc technology into their concrete blocks to achieve substantial carbon reductions. By replacing traditional cement with low and ultra-low carbon alternatives, CCP has developed three grades of Greenbloc: Standard (up to 50% carbon savings), Premium (up to 70% carbon savings), and Ultra (up to 80% carbon savings). This innovative approach not only reduces the carbon footprint but also maintains the same quality, strength, and aesthetics as conventional concrete blocks. The use of Carbon8 carbon-negative aggregate further enhances the sustainability of their products, making them a leading choice for eco-conscious construction projects.
Poundfield Precast, a specialist in bespoke precast concrete solutions, has also embraced ultra-low carbon technology by utilising Greencem technology. They have introduced precast concrete products that offer up to 80% less embodied CO2 compared to traditional methods. This significant reduction is achieved without compromising on the strength and durability of the concrete. Poundfield commitment to sustainability is evident in their wide range of products, including retaining walls, beam and block flooring, and bespoke concrete units, all designed to meet the highest environmental standards.
GD Harries, a major supplier of readymix concrete in South Wales, has incorporated sustainable practices into their operations. By utilising Greencem technology, they produce readymix concrete with significantly lower carbon emissions. Their concrete batching plants are accredited to the highest standards, ensuring that the concrete mixes are both high-quality and environmentally friendly. GD Harries offers a variety of concrete mixes, including general, reinforced, and designed concrete, all tailored to meet specific project requirements while minimising the carbon footprint.
These companies are leading the way in sustainable construction by leveraging Greencem technology to produce concrete products with drastically reduced cement and carbon emissions. This not only helps in combating climate change but also supports the construction industry’s move towards greener and more sustainable practices.
Cemfree is a proprietary Alkali-Activated Cementitious Material (AACM) that activates pozzolanic materials such as Ground Granulated Blast-furnace Slag (GGBS) and Pulverised Fly Ash (PFA) to create a Cemfree Binder which can replace a variety of cement types to create Cemfree Concrete.
The UKs first cement-free ultra-low carbon dense concrete block. Powered by Cemfree, an ultra-low carbon alternative to traditional cement. Low C02. No compromise.
