KEY PARTNERS

WHY CONCRETE & ASPHALT?

Significant Global Emissions

Concrete contributes to 8% of global emissions. After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on earth. A small change can have a significant impact.

Annually 25 million tonnes of asphalt is laid for road maintenance and construction which has a high carbon footprint.

Essential Building Materials

As essential building blocks for our cities and transportation networks, concrete and asphalt require a greener approach to production to minimise their environmental impact and ensure a sustainable future.

Innovation is Key

Our solutions provide a simple and scalable way to decarbonise the concrete and asphalt industry.

We design and manufacture carbon negative aggregates that can be easily incorporated into existing manufacturing processes.

Testimonials

“There are significant challenges currently facing the construction industry including embodied carbon, waste production and raw material shortages. It is not only the positive environmental benefits that attract us to this product, which contribute to a more circular approach, but also the added value it can bring to our materials.”

Leanne Fletcher, Sir Robert McAlpine

Suistainability Lead

“…with responsibilities covering both waste and building services, I can see considerable potential in Low Carbon Material's low-carbon building products. As a Council we are involved in a wide variety of landscaping and building schemes, and are excited to actively consider the potential of product trials."

Oliver Sherratt, Durham County Council

Head of Environment and Direct Services

“Low Carbon Materials' technology will represent a sizeable reduction in CO₂consumption for several key trade items such as aggregate blocks. The world faces its gravest crisis in the form of climate change, and all funding sources (public, private, institutional) need to invest in companies who have the ideas and technology to tackle this severe issue.”
