This week at the Accelerating Circular Construction Roundtable in Bristol hosted by the brilliant Jenny Ford from Materials in Mind, we explored the vital role of infrastructure, policy, and innovative contracting models in advancing circular practices. A common theme was the necessity of legislative incentives to promote reuse, alongside the importance of language, for example, 'urban mining' seems more appealing than 'demolition audit'. IndiNature was proud to sponsor this event, aligning with our mission to reduce reliance on carbon-intensive resources & to supply more insulation material options that capture carbon & are circular by design. Thanks for the opportunity to contribute & great work Ele George. We have a planet to cool! #CircularConstruction #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #IndiNature #Reuse #Indi #CircularEconomy #AccelerateNetZero #insulation #industrialhemp #madeinbritain #Circularbioeconomy

Our organization creates and offer a room of exciting partnership opportunity for you and your company , through partnership.we can learn about your showcase sustainability research, advances, concepts, designs, prototypes, and products you produce,you can help us build biochar reactor to produce higher quality of biochar that will promote carbon farming to capture carbon emissions from atmosphere and bury them permanently in farms. With millions of small scale farmers in Kenya if trained in biochar soil application billions of carbon emissions will be captured from atmosphere and buried in farms,if my partnership request can be considered we will be to develop innovative biochar agricultural solutions that with be able to sequester 75,000 tons of carbon per year and generate certified carbon credits.The nascent market for biochar could grow if more farmers use it as a soil additive, or if it’s integrated into animal feeds and composts as new ways to reduce emissions. Biochar is produced by heating wood residues and other biomass in a low-oxygen chamber that limits emissions, in a process known as pyrolysis. As the biomass heats, bio-oils and gas are also produced, which can be used for power generation. Millions of small scale farmers turning to biochar farming this means they will be much demand for biochar production. Our partnership will leverage the strengths and expertise of both companies to address food security challenges, capture carbon emissions from atmosphere and bury them permanently in farms,mitigate desertification, and create a more sustainable future in the region and around the world. We are sure that with partnership we can learn great and to grow our company fast through your innovative ideas and to share best practices, lessons learned, or unique or alternative approaches to sustainability research and innovation to develop resilient communities in Kenya through biochar revolution. We are sure if we can establish partnership between you and your company we can get funding to implement biochar project in Kenya and to create better world in Africa. We request for partnership between us and your company.Let us work together for betterment of our planet and mankind. Thank you so much Prince Maloba
A historic moment for carbon capture and storage! Earlier this year, a groundbreaking partnership was unveiled that marks a significant stride in the fight against climate change. CarbonCure Technologies and Heirloom joined forces to revolutionize the construction industry with carbon-removing concrete. Heirloom's state-of-the-art Brisbane, CA power plant successfully extracted #CO2 from the atmosphere, a monumental accomplishment in direct air capture technology. This captured carbon was seamlessly integrated into CarbonCure's operational units at Central Concrete's San Jose facilities. The result? Ready-mix concrete that not only boasts top-notch quality but also actively reduces its carbon footprint. Direct air capture meets carbon-neutral building materials: Now that's #ClimateInnovation. #ClimateGoals #CarbonRemoval #DirectAirCapture #ClimateChange #Construction #Concrete #CarbonFootprint https://lnkd.in/gKRnnrvf

Great coverage of progress on reducing #embodiedcarbon in #concrete and #cement for the Salish Sea region of the Pacific NW, including quotes from Phil Northcott, Don Davies PE,SE, and Jordan Palmeri, senior researcher for the Carbon Leadership Forum. This is a well-written and deeply researched story by Mike Lindblom at The Seattle Times. We have only one quibble with the article: its title! Greener concrete is no longer a dream but a "concrete" reality, realized daily by innovative startups and established companies, countless new manufacturing processes and products, lower or even zero-carbon cementitious materials, low-carbon designs, and both private and public policies to drive low-carbon procurement for both buildings and infrastructure projects. https://lnkd.in/gU8g5DZC

With a humble heart and a bold vision, we've embarked on a journey where environmental stewardship isn't an obligation, but a core value. We're using innovative materials like fly ash, transforming hazardous waste into an asset for roads, conserving soil, and minimizing our environmental impact. Our alternative pavement designs, such as cement-treated bases, are reducing the need for excessive aggregates, curbing the environmental cost of mining and crushing. But our commitment goes further. We're recycling existing pavement layers, reducing the demand for fresh aggregates and, in turn, lessening our manufacturing and carbon footprint. Our CEO, Deepanjan Bhadra’s words are a reflection of our brand's dedication to a more sustainable, eco-conscious approach to construction. Join us as we pave the way for innovative, eco-conscious construction practices.

Earlier this year, Soletanche Bachy launched the Environmental Excellence Project programme as a crucial part of their environmental initiatives. This positive initiative challenged each subsidiary business unit to nominate a project for special attention and encouragement in reducing its CO2 footprint. 🏗️ March Construction proudly nominated the Bay Radiology piling project, a recent endeavour for Classic Builders & CBC Construction. Under the leadership of Luke Maxwell, our team embraced the challenge by treating a tender carbon budget (B0) as a benchmark for our environmental actions. These actions included: 1️⃣ Innovative Concrete Mix: We utilised a concrete mix for the piles that incorporated a 30% cement replacement blend, promoting sustainability without compromising quality. 2️⃣ Green Energy for De-sanding: The de-sanding plant, crucial in treating our bentonite, was powered by mains electricity instead of a diesel generator, reducing emissions significantly. 3️⃣ Waste Recycling: Embracing a circular economy, we recycled waste products like scrap steel and sand from the treatment plant, minimizing our project's environmental footprint. 4️⃣ Idle Plant Awareness: Continuous reminders during pre-starts emphasized the importance of switching off idling plant equipment, contributing to energy conservation. 📊 The as-built carbon budget (B100) upon project completion revealed a remarkable decrease in the overall footprint, even with an expanded project scope. 💡 These seemingly small adjustments underscore the significant impact of mindset changes. March Construction believes that by adopting such practices, we can collectively make a substantial difference in preserving our environment. #carbonreduction #buildonus #smallchangesbigimpact

These are numbers every construction contractor should consider when building a residential or commercial building. The complete LCA has to be considered. #Embodiedcarbon is the tip of rthe iceberg when we're talking about sustainable "green" building.
So excited about the #EmbodiedCarbon Roundtable at The White House this week to create a definition for Zero Carbon Construction. Validated that for #insulation systems #hempcrete tops the list for CO2 sequestered! Another win for hemp-lime and sustainable biogenic construction. Chris Magwood Bruce King RMI Heather T. Clark

Recent insights from our multi-parameter optimization work: helping developers understand the cost-benefit of investing in embodied or operational carbon reductions. This one was surprising! Low-carbon concrete is more cost-effective, but doesn't deliver nearly as much lifetime reductions as electrification. #zerocarbon #realestate #development #fartherfaster #embodiedcarbon #workwithpurpose
