After success in 13 other countries, ECOPact, Holcim’s low carbon concrete range, is now being released in Australia.
The concrete is made using varying portions of supplementary cementitious materials, which include fly ash and slag cement, and can reduce embodied carbon emissions by up to 60 per cent compared to standard concrete.
