Concrete especially is a vital construction material that brings benefits that endure for decades – it is versatile, durable, flood and fire resilient, low carbon over its long lifecycle, recyclable, affordable and readily available.
We want to provide products that meet the required performance criteria, and that have the potential to be more durable, longer lasting, have a better performance or lower embodied carbon over their whole life.
We acknowledge that some manufacturing processes can be energy, carbon, water and resource intensive. Which is why, as responsible producers of construction materials and building products, we are continuously innovating, developing and enhancing products and processes that are more sustainable.
We are proud to launch our Breedon Balance range of products – products that have sustainable attributes and make a material difference to the planet.
To be included in our Breedon Balance portfolio, products must meet or exceed the stringent threshold values we have set based around the six criteria listed below:
Lower carbon footprint than a generic market equivalent
Incorporates recycled content in the product
Less resource intensive or longer lasting
Positive impact on nature and biodiversity
