The Concrete Industry
In an independent study from 2020 by Thinkstep Ltd, it was shown that the NZ concrete industry had reduced its embodied carbon by 15% since 2005, despite 10% population growth over this time. With NZ as a signatory to the Paris agreement of 30% lower emissions by 2030, the concrete industry in New Zealand is halfway there.
