Low Carbon Concrete
Pronto Concrete is pleased to offer our Pronto Concrete E-MIX range of reduced Carbon and Carbon Neutral concrete mixes*. We achieve environmental targets by reducing our GP cement content in mix designs by substitution with supplementary cementitious products, typically Fly Ash and GGBFS, (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace) Slag. High performance Low Carbon E-Mix concrete products utilise Barro Group’s Slag activating technology that uses accurate liquid activator dosing added directly through the concrete batching process; (Barro Group patent pending with a provisional patent called “Concrete Compositions” – Application Number 2023901922). This enables Pronto concrete production plants to easily produce large volumes of accurately batch high performance E-MIX Low Carbon Concrete on a daily basis.
Cement manufacture is a large portion of carbon emissions associated with concrete production, therefore any reduction in GP cement consumed in every cubic metre of concrete means we can work towards decarbonising the built environment.
*Carbon Neutral concrete is achieved through a combination of production / mix design technology and carbon credits known as offsets*
