Envirocon – Precast Concrete

Our world is built on concrete, and in New Zealand we produce over 10 millions tonnes of it per year. About 300,000 tonnes of this high quality certified concrete will end up as waste, simply because it can not be used before it dries. But waste in the construction sector isn’t just limited to concrete. Bad design of traditional building materials creates waste during the build process, and waste at the end of life of the structure through destructive dismantling. Eliminating waste is why Envirocon exists.

We work with NZ’s leading concrete companies to divert high quality excess concrete to produce precast concrete construction systems. Success requires products which can be mass produced, yet provide flexibility in application and superior functionality. We achieve this through innovative product and system design.

We think about the people who will use our blocks, and the places our blocks will be used. We think about how the needs of a structure may change over time, and what will happen at the end of its life. Our designs harness the power of simplicity, because simple products are fast to learn and easy to use.

From this comes Interbloc and Stonebloc. At the core of the systems is a concrete block. The block designs look simple enough, but when you dive deeper they deliver a powerful combination of benefits. They start life with low embodied carbon, and continue to reabsorb CO2 over their life. They reduce time, labour, and materials waste during installation. They deliver unparalleled durability, increasing the life of the structure. They can be non-destructively dismantled and reused at the end of life.

It’s CarbonSmart. Low Carbon, Zero Waste.
