Why Choose Low-Carbon Concrete?

Environmental Impact

Traditional concrete accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Our low-carbon alternative reduces emissions by up to 70%, using innovative production methods, recycled aggregates, and alternative cements to make construction more sustainable.

Standards Compliant

Our low-carbon concrete meets BS 8500:2023, using ternary cements like CEM II/C-M and CEM VI to cut emissions while maintaining the strength and resilience required for demanding projects. These materials offer a sustainable alternative that lowers construction’s carbon footprint.

Performance and Durability

Designed to deliver strength and long-term reliability, our low-carbon concrete is suitable for projects of all sizes, from residential buildings to large-scale infrastructure. Whether you're constructing foundations, walls, or floors, it provides a robust and lasting solution.

Improved Energy Efficiency

The thermal properties of low-carbon concrete help regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling. This lowers energy consumption, cutting both costs and emissions while improving overall building efficiency.

Transparent EPDs

Holcim UK provides the most transparent Environmental Product Declarations in the UK concrete industry. Our detailed, plant-specific data helps you make informed decisions about your concrete choices.
