Lower Carbon Concrete

Boral is committed to a lower carbon future.

Our multi-application, high performing, lower carbon concrete products reduce embodied carbon by up to 50%.

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.
