Boral is committed to a lower carbon future.
Our multi-application, high performing, lower carbon concrete products reduce embodied carbon by up to 50%.
Explore our Lower Carbon Concrete products.
To reduce the embodied carbon of our concrete, the Portland cement component is replaced with lower carbon cementitious alternatives such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). Previously, simply substituting a significant amount of cement in a concrete mix would negatively impact the feasibility of its use. However, with Boral's proprietary ZEP ® technology, we can offer lower carbon concrete with good-early age strength, excellent drying/shrinkage properties, less prone to cracking and superior durability.
These enhanced and proprietary improvements provide engineers, builders, and architects with a cost-effective lower carbon concrete alternative that can be used across multiple applications from the architecturally distinct to the most complex engineering challenges.

Decarbonising Concrete
A key lever of our decarbonisation pathway is reducing cementitious intensity through our lower carbon concrete strategy. Shifting our conventional concrete mixes to our ENVISIA®, Envirocrete® Plus, and Envirocrete® range of products will reduce our use of cement in the production of concrete.
Concrete Characteristics
The Boral advantage –ZEP® technology
Our lower carbon concrete products replace cement with supplementary cementitious materials, such as ground-granulated blast-furnace slag and fly ash, and use proprietary ZEP® binder technology, to produce concrete with lower embodied carbon concrete while maintaining and/or improving engineering outcomes for our customers.
Net zero concrete offering with additional carbon offsetting
For customers seeking a fully net zero concrete for their project, we supply an integrated package of any concrete covered under a current registered Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) together with credible carbon offsets. This offering is also certified under Australia’s primary carbon neutral standard, Climate Active.
