Ultra-low-carbon solutions
Material Evolution’s (Mevo) ultra-low-carbon cement outperforms traditional cement every time. Cement accounts for 80% of traditional concrete’s carbon footprint, with concrete typically representing 50% of a project’s total carbon emissions. We slash these figures by reducing cement’s embodied carbon.
