ACC Ready Mix Concrete recently introduced its new low carbon range of concrete called ECOPact – the green concrete for high-performing, sustainable and circular construction.

According to a company news release, the ECOPact range is launched in Mumbai and Hyderabad and will be rolled out across India in a phased manner in the next few weeks. The rollout of ECOPact is a key plank towards advancing the transition towards low-carbon and circular construction.

ECOPact is a concrete with 30-50 % lower embodied carbon content compared to a reference concrete designed with OPC. The product range uses carbon dioxide reduced binders and is manufactured with optimised mix designs to reduce its carbon footprint and offer enhanced durability and finish compared to conventional concrete. Using ECOPact range by developers might help them obtain Green Points from Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). The sustainable product range is suitable for all structural components: from foundations to roof – including elements like columns, beams, slabs, external or internal walls, driveways, walkways and more.

Through its ECOPact range of products, ACC will offer its customers the option to choose concrete based on their desired level of carbon dioxide reduction and sustainability objectives. ECOPact PRIME offers carbon dioxide reduction by 50 to 70%. ECOPact MAX has a carbon dioxide reduction capability greater than 70%. ECOPact ZERO is a combination of concrete technology excellence and climate action offers the opportunity to eliminate the carbon footprint of concrete and greatly reduce the overall carbon footprint of the structures. We are excited that our customers will reap the benefits of ECOPact and be part of the construction industry’s transitioning to make better sustainable material decisions.
