A new low carbon cement bag for sustainable construction
01.
Identification
Planet® is cement that provides masons and project owners with a more sustainable solution in their building activities: - the lowest carbon footprint for cement bags used for structural building applications, as well as an optional voluntary carbon compensation - zero waste on construction sites - reduced fatigue for the worker, and no need to change work habits Planet® relies on the most optimised cement in terms of carbon emissions due to its composition (less clinker, more slag, alternative fuels for its production), and on a disintegrating paper bag and an adapted weight making work easier on job sites. Planet® is a global solution for sustainable construction site. It can be immediately used by masons in a traditional way.
