Targeting Net Zero – Concrete Sustainability is More Than Just a Number

Concrete sustainability is more than just a number
Presenter: Jason Chandler
This recorded webinar explores the urgent need to move beyond mere carbon accounting and embrace a deeper, technology-driven approach to decarbonising concrete. It examines the evolving landscape of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in Australia, highlighting both the opportunities and regulatory challenges facing new entrants. It outlines the critical path to market for innovative materials and construction methods, emphasising the role of Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) in bridging research and implementation. Central to the discussion is the importance of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) grounded in robust concrete science—ensuring that sustainability claims are not only transparent but technically defensible in a performance-driven industry.
