b'
Hello! This is Episode 280, and in it, I\\u2019m talking with Dylan Viviers, National Specification Manager from Holcim, all about low carbon concrete.

\\nConcrete is one of those tricky materials as far as sustainability is concerned. It\\u2019s super durable and long-lasting, so from a longevity point of view, it\\u2019s a great performer, which can be an asset for sustainability.
\\nHowever, concrete has a high carbon footprint, largely due to its cement content, as you\\u2019ll hear more about in this episode. Even though cement only makes up 11% of the ingredients in concrete, it generates 80 - 90% of its carbon footprint.
\\nWhat\\u2019s super exciting about this conversation is that you\\u2019ll learn about how much a company like Holcim is doing to lower the carbon footprint of concrete with their ECOPact product.
\\nYou\\u2019ll also learn how accessible it is for you, doing your renovation or new build project, to specify low carbon concrete for your project. That, in fact, it would be pretty pointless not to.
\\nLow carbon concrete is on its way to become the concrete we use all the time, which is amazing.
