CO₂-Reduced Concrete for Precast Elements

SUS.con by HERING: Sustainable Construction with CO₂-Reduced Concrete

The construction industry faces a critical challenge: significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. Concrete, as one of the most widely used building materials worldwide, contributes substantially to CO₂ emissions. Yet, it remains indispensable for modern construction projects.

The solution: SUS.con – HERING’s CO₂-reduced concrete, actively contributing to improving the climate footprint.

CO₂-reduced concrete like SUS.con significantly lowers CO₂ emissions compared to conventional concrete. Since around 80% of emissions come from the high proportion of Portland cement clinker, SUS.con reduces the clinker content. The result: sustainable concrete with the same quality and stability.

When using our CO₂-reduced concrete SUS.con in the modula® Type 1|1b precast platforms, at least 25% of CO₂ emissions can be saved compared to our conventional platform – based on life cycle stages A1 and A2 (i.e., raw materials and transport to the precast plant). The innovative concrete formulation meets all regulatory construction requirements in Germany and the EU – ensuring straightforward and safe application.

Additionally, recycled aggregate (RC concrete) can be used. A building authority approval for platforms made from SUS.con with recycled concrete is currently being prepared in Germany.
