New Zealand: eco-friendly cement developed
24 January 2017


New Zealand cement company, HR Cement, is to launch a ground-breaking low-carbon footprint cement that helps reduce global CO2 emissions.

HR Cement, based in Mt Maunganui, developed the more environmentally-friendly ECO-CEM cement with the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete utilised on construction sites by 15-30 per cent, according to Chris Hall, managing director of HR Cement.

The company’s location within a volcanic field near high-quality and natural Pozzolanic materials gives HR Cement an economic advantage in its production process.
