With Ecocrete, Akçansa aims to provide superior quality while minimizing its carbon footprint
Akçansa reinforces its responsible approach to climate goals through its Sustainable Product Initiative. As part of this initiative, Ecocrete, introduced under the ‘Green For Concrete’ umbrella, is distinguished by its eco-friendly design, focused on reducing its carbon footprint while delivering exceptional quality.
Akçansa’s Sustainable Product Initiative, which focuses on developing low-clinker and low-carbon products using alternative raw materials, supports a more sustainable future with climate-friendly products without compromising key performance parameters in production and quality.
At Least 15% Lower Carbon Emissions
As part of the next-generation ready-mix concrete family, Ecocrete reduces carbon emissions by at least 15% while excelling in durability and high performance.
The product’s design utilizes eco-friendly, low-carbon cement varieties instead of traditional CEM I-type cement, combined with mineral additives such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. Incorporating sustainable technologies into the innovative product composition aims to lower the clinker usage rate.
“Strengthening our Eco-Friendly Approach with the Sustainable Product Initiative”
Akçansa CEO Vecih Yılmaz highlighted the importance of new product initiatives within the company’s sustainability strategy: “Our new-generation products play a vital role in contributing to a greener future. While focusing on sustainability, we ensure our products maintain durability and high performance. Ecocrete sets itself apart not only with its climate-friendly composition but also with the high quality it offers to ensure customer satisfaction. By providing our customers with materials aligned with their environmental goals, we support both their projects and our sustainability objectives.”
