Heavy and noisy combustion machines. Pollution. Excessive CO2 production. These are just some of the myths that surround the production of noble concrete. What does it really look like? Can the production of noble concrete go hand in hand with ecology? Contribute to sustainable construction and be good for the environment?
How is noble concrete made?
Cement, limestone, aggregate, sand, water. As much as 70% of precious concrete is made of natural ingredients, and only 30% are artificial materials.
In addition, a closed water cycle is used for its production. This means that all liters that are used to create it are reused. Not a drop is wasted in the process! All used water is returned to the production process so that it can be reused in the production of subsequent batches of precious concrete. This is an extremely economical and ecological solution.
In addition, no exhaust fumes are currently used in the production of concrete. Most of the production is based on the use of machines that use electricity. This means that the entire process does not produce exhaust fumes that are harmful to health and life.
Solutions for the 21st century
Modern production plants that produce products made of precious concrete are very often based on renewable energy sources. Currently, most of the huge halls in which such products are manufactured are equipped with photovoltaic panels that generate electricity to cover most of the energy demand of production.
One of such manufacturers is the Polish brand DASAG, which produces modern products made of noble concrete and at the same time puts great emphasis on all pro-ecological solutions that are good for the environment.
The company will soon join the group of production plants using renewable energy sources. Currently, it is equipping itself with a huge photovoltaic farm, thanks to which it will not only produce noble concrete using solar energy, but also become a huge support for the local energy industry in the event of a failure or crisis.
Ecology at every stage!
In addition, the Dasag brand has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which confirms that the production of noble concrete does not leave a negative mark on the environment. The entire process of creating their products – from production to disposal – is fully ecological.
The DASAG brand takes care of proper production in many ways. It uses reusable pallets, prints as little advertising materials as possible or uses ecological packaging that consists of little plastic. He is also an active member at many important conferences and events, e.g. Be the change. Thanks to this, it is constantly and actively looking for new solutions to make their entire production even better for the environment.
In addition, the company pays special attention to the amount of waste it produces during delivery to the customer. He makes sure that each unloading of noble concrete on the construction site involves the removal of any rubbish that may appear during its unloading from the delivery vehicle.
In addition, it also uses debris recycling. Thanks to this, all production waste can be reused in further production. Of course, the entire recycling process is carried out under the strict control of technologists, who make sure that the reused production leftovers have all the necessary parameters to create a new, quality product.
As you can see, the DASAG brand proves that concrete production can be good for the natural environment and not contribute to its excessive pollution. Attention to every detail, the use of renewable energy sources or ecological packaging are just some of the solutions that can be used to minimize the negative effects of the production of building materials.
