Envirocrete®
Boral Envirocrete® is a product that is carefully designed to use waste materials in the manufacture of concrete and thereby reduce the environmental impact.
Features & Benefits
The long term environmental benefits of building with concrete are well documented. The high thermal mass of concrete can be used to minimise heating and cooling in structures and the strength and durability of concrete provides a flexible, low maintenance construction material.
Boral Envirocrete® incorporates recycled and waste raw materials enabling us to minimise the environmental impact of concrete during the manufacturing and construction phase. This makes concrete an even more attractive building material for the long term.
