Carbon Neutral Bricks, Blocks, Retaining Walls and Pavers
Sustainable Products for the Future are manufactured with 37.6% recycled coloured glass aggregates. The environmental benefits of these eco-friendly, recycled, sustainable building materials are enormous as natural resourced aggregates such as sand and metal dust, are replaced in manufacture. Due to the cementitious value of the finely crushed recycled glass combined with cement replacements, cement usage is reduced by 25% – therefore CO2 emissions are lowered when our environmentally friendly building materials are produced. As a further commitment to sustainability an EPD has been undertaken and with emission reduction planning in place till 2050 the entire sustainable range is certified carbon neutral. The first Australian masonry company to achieve this net zero milestone. Importantly ALL environmental claims are third party verified by Global Greentag.
