Where Can I Source Low Carbon Concrete in Europe?

bigvibes | Posted in Green Products and Materials on

I’m based in Italy and building an addition to my house. I’d like to use low carbon concrete for the project but I’m finding my options are limited here, however, I don’t speak the language well so that makes it hard to find things. Anyone know where I could source any low carbon concrete – containing fly ash, slag, etc.? thanks

    bigvibes,

    Concrete has to be sourced locally as it has a very short period of time between when it is batched and when it needs to be poured. If the plants in you area don't provide low-carbon concrete, unfortunately you are probably out of luck.
