LOW CARBON MANUFACTURING

Unique in concrete design. Our concrete is made using locally sourced recycled sands and recycled aggregates, manufactured in a low energy process. Each piece contains 80% recycled materials.

  • Made using recycled materials.

    Using recycled materials in our concrete is at the very core of our thinking. Making concrete with recycled materials is difficult, but invaluable for a sustainable future.

    We source all our materials in the UK and as locally as possible to minimise our environmental impact.

    We have been leading the way in eco concrete design for over 20 years and we’re the first and only manufacturer to do this.

  • Made to order for zero waste.

    Each product is made to order. We don’t keep stock of any products and only use exacting quantities of the materials required to make the product - eliminating waste from the start.

  • Fully recyclable.

    Our basins are fully recyclable at the end of their life and can be taken to your local council recycling centre.

    There is no steel reinforcement within the concrete so it can be broken down and crushed to make recycled sands, aggregates or hardcore material and further used within the construction industry or even another basin.

  • Low energy manufacture.

    Low energy manufacture.

    By reducing the environmental impact of our operations we can manufacture our products using as little energy as possible.

    Our operation has traditionally been low energy. Manufacture uses minimal electricity and water. We use hand and battery operated tools. We keep the lights off during daylight. Our moulds are reusable and we calculate the exact amount of concrete to fill them to eliminate waste.

    We also consider where our materials come from and source them as locally as possible within the UK to reduce their transport carbon footprint.

  • Carbon off-set shipping.

    What is carbon offsetting?

    Carbon offsetting is investing in projects with the goal of helping the environment by lowering or reducing future carbon emissions. For every shipment sent with DHL Express, DHL invests in high-quality climate protection and emission-reducing projects to neutralise the shipment’s CO2 emissions.

  • Long term goals.

    Our long term goal is to produce concrete made with 100% recycled content.

    We’ve worked hard to achieve 80% recycled content and we’re working on the remaining 20%.

    There have been some exciting developments in concrete research and development in recent years. We look forward to see this translate into carbon negative concrete across the industry and around the world.
