Envirocrete Pty Ltd introduces a sustainable & efficient alternative green building technology to speed up construction and delivery of affordable green quality houses to address the global housing backlog. The system is made up of 3 elements: 1.ENVIROCRETE® RAW is special type of green, light-weight aggregate that provides the perfect combination of the structural properties of cement & the thermal insulation and acoustic properties of wood. 2. ENVIROCRETE® MIX is a special type of green concrete that when batched with ordinary Portland Cement ASTM-C150-Type-I & water can be used to produce concrete products such as hollow core blocks, hollow core slabs, solid precast wall panels, light weight floors, decking and roof systems. 3. ENVIROCRETE® CONSTRUCTIONSYSTEM is an innovative unique alternative building process that combines the best practice of Bio-Climatic Architecture and Engineering with off-site pre-fabrication industrial production technology.
