C-Crete Technologies Gets Inaugural Concrete Pour in Seattle Building
C-Crete Technologies has unveiled its cement-free concrete with its debut pour in a commercial building in Seattle. The alternative to Portland cement reportedly produces almost no carbon dioxide in its manufacturing and absorbs CO2 from the air over time.
Portland cement is responsible for around 7% of total CO2 emissions worldwide. If used instead, the new material can help reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. Each ton of C-Crete binder that replaces Portland cement prevents approximately 1 ton of CO2 emissions. The product utilizes a suite of natural minerals and industrial byproducts.
