Welcome to Constructive Voices. In Episode 1 of Season Three, we explore the urgent shift within the 施工 industry towards more sustainable practices, particularly in the face of the UK government’s net-zero targets. (You can tune into this episode from Tuesday 20th February).
The construction industry is seeking environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional cement due to its significant carbon footprint, with the UK government setting net zero targets for the sector. A promising innovation in this field is 塞姆弗里 由 DB Group 生產的黏合劑,由廢料透過鹼活化製成,可減少 85% 碳排放量 與傳統水泥相比。 Jackie De Burca 與 Tony Sheridan 一起調查 Cemfree,

Tony 仍然致力於影響行業,努力實現更永續的未來,透過領導 DBG 所有部門的商業職能,他每天都在這個職位上倡導永續實踐。
以下是主要討論點:
The Carbon Footprint of Cement: We discussed the significant environmental impact of traditional cement production, which has prompted the search for greener alternatives.
Cemfree – 遊戲規則改變者:DB Group 的 Cemfree 成為眾人矚目的焦點,這是一種突破性的黏合劑,透過鹼活化利用廢料,碳排放量驚人地減少了 85%。
A Spectrum of Sustainable Solutions: Our conversation touched on various innovative methods to lower concrete’s carbon impact, including carbon injection, the use of calcined clay, waste blending, and emerging carbon capture technologies.
Despite a lack of a clear government roadmap for achieving net zero in construction, the industry is making strides towards sustainability, led by certain entities and driven by infrastructure clients demanding lower carbon materials. New British standards support performance-based specifications, allowing for the use of alternative binders like Cemfree. Other approaches to reducing concrete’s carbon impact include carbon injection, calcined clay, waste blending, and carbon capture technologies.
