One of our environmental commitments is to use as much concrete as necessary, and not a drop more. Cement, an important component of concrete, releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when produced. Excess amounts of concrete and waste run counter to eco-friendly usage. This is why we’re constantly working to optimize our concrete usage, by taking the time beforehand to evaluate the minimum quantity necessary in our projects.
One of our greatest challenges is to produce a concrete with a longer useful life. We also work to produce concretes that are specially adapted to how they will be used. Durability is our objective.
Moreover, we work to design concretes made from recycled materials. For example, we use mineral admixtures from industrial by-products. Finally, in our Tercim products, we produce a standard cement made of 35% recycled materials.
