ECOPact low-carbon concrete
Less carbon. Proven concrete performance.
ECOPact® from Holcim Australia helps customers reduce the carbon footprint of their buildings and infrastructure, so they can build better with less and decarbonise construction at scale.
ECOPact is Holcim’s low-carbon concrete range designed to help reduce the embodied carbon of buildings, infrastructure and homes, while maintaining the strength, durability and reliability modern construction demands.
ECOPact achieves at least 30% lower GWP Total (kg CO₂e/m³, A1–A3 scope) compared with the applicable Ordinary Portland cement ready-mix concrete¹.
Through innovative mix design and the use of supplementary cementitious materials, ECOPact enables projects to achieve meaningful carbon reductions without compromising performance or workability. From mixes delivering substantial carbon reduction to solutions engineered for high structural performance, ECOPact provides flexible options to meet a wide range of project requirements, including embodied carbon targets.
From residential construction to broader project applications, ECOPact helps reduce embodied carbon without compromising performance.
Discover low-carbon concrete for all your project needs
Reduce the embodied carbon of your project without compromising on performance. ECOPact provides developers, engineers, builders and contractors with concrete solutions designed to meet both performance requirements and embodied carbon targets.
Applications
ECOPact supports your transition to lower-carbon construction.
Mixes start at 30% lower GWP (A1–A3)¹ and include engineered options with high early-age strength, all delivering the performance modern projects demand.
With ECOPact, you can
ECOPact Active for high-performance concrete
ECOPact Active is the solution for projects that demand both lower embodied carbon and strong structural performance.
Get active on meeting your carbon reduction targets. With ECOPact Active, you can meet demanding construction and structural targets while also reducing embodied carbon.
High-performance ECOPact Active mixes deliver early-age strength equal to or greater than conventional post-tensioned and precast concrete, even with high levels of cement replacement.
Applications
Early-age strength. Lower shrinkage. Lower embodied carbon.
- At least 30% lower GWP (A1–A3) than ordinary Portland cement ready-mix concrete¹
- Early-age strength to support faster construction programs
- Lower shrinkage than conventional concrete mixes
