When using Ecocrete, it is guaranteed to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 20%, while also ensuring 100% quality.
This is possible thanks to a unique optimized recipe based on the idea of decarbonizing the raw material and using cement with a smaller CO2 footprint.
High performance and long service life are guaranteed.
Ecocrete concrete has these same standard and previous strength values compared to conventional concrete, but also has better workability and helps achieve a smoother surface.
