ViroDecs™: Holcim takes next step in environmental responsibility
Holcim Australia (Holcim) has become the first concrete company in Australia to embark on developing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its Concrete. By establishing clearer life cycle assessment information, Holcim supports customers wanting to be leaders in the sustainable infrastructure and building industry.
“The information from Holcim’s ViroDecs(TM) can be used by a range of our customers and their associates, from architects, engineers, developers and builders, to drive reductions in the embodied environmental impact of buildings and infrastructure at the design and specification stage,” says National Approvals & Sustainable Development Manager Cyril Giraud (maroon sweater, at podium).
“The advent of Holcim’s ViroDecs(TM) will help shape the way the construction industry analyses the environmental impact of buildings and infrastructure in the future,” says National Sales & Marketing Manager Glenn Simpkin.
“Holcim’s ViroDecs(TM) set a very clear commitment to providing accurate and transparent environmental data for our customers and a framework for continued improvement on Holcim’s part,” says National Approvals & Sustainable Development Manager Cyril Giraud (maroon sweater, following presentation at the 2018 ISCA conference).
