Holcim ViroDecs™ ready-mix concrete

Holcim ViroDecs™ – A First For Australian Concrete – An Edge for Industry

Holcim Australia is a leading supplier of construction materials in Australia, originally serving the industry under the well-known Readymix and Humes brands dating back to 1901.

The Holcim ViroDecs™ Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) presents a cradle-to-gate declaration of the environmental impact of Holcim Australia’s ready-mix concrete.

The ViroDecs™ initiative constitutes a major investment in comprehensively analysing and communicating to customers the embodied environmental impacts of Holcim’s ready-mix concrete.

The development of a concrete EPD was a critical “missing” piece to having all key infrastructure and building products represented by an EPD in Australia. Its publication will support designers and developers to drive improved sustainable procurement and materials selection.
