FUTUREBUILD SHOW PREVIEW 31
A new era of sustainable construction W
ith climate change accelerating at an alarming rate and 2024 offi cially recorded as the warmest year in human history (approximately 1.6°C warmer than pre-industrial level) the urgency for sustainable solutions in the construction sector has never been greater.
Architects
and construction professionals are now under increasing pressure to design with sustainability in mind, ensuring their projects contribute to a greener future rather than exacerbating environmental issues. At
Milbank Concrete Products, we
understand the signifi cant role our industry plays in shaping a more sustainable built environment. That’s why we are not just making promises – we are taking action. From our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2030 to our ongoing innovations in low-carbon concrete, we are leading the way in reducing the environmental impact of precast concrete. And now, with the launch of our groundbreaking Carbon Calculator (which we are showcasing at Futurebuild 2025), we are providing architects and developers with the tools they need to make truly informed, responsible choices.
Introducing the Milbank Carbon Calculator One of our most exciting innovations for 2025 is the launch of the Milbank Carbon Calculator – an industry-leading calculation designed to provide customers with accurate carbon savings data which will be provided as standard for precast and prestressed concrete quotations. This unique addition to our quoting process is set to transform how architects and construction professionals plan sustainable projects and is calculated based on all of the improvements and innovations we’ve made since our baseline carbon calculation back in 2018. This includes factors such as cement replacement,
biomass and solar curing and HVO and electric vehicles. With the pressure to meet net-zero targets mounting, architects and developers must consider the environmental impact of their materials from the very beginning of a project. Our Carbon Calculator enables them to make informed choices by delivering clear, data-driven insights into the carbon footprint of our products at the quote stage. This transparency helps professionals align their designs with sustainability goals, meet regulatory requirements,
compare
to other suppliers and contribute to a more environmentally responsible built environment.
Our commitment to Net Zero We continue to drive forward with our ambitious sustainability goals, reinforcing our position as the most sustainable supplier of precast concrete products. The urgency of tackling climate change has never been greater, and we are proud to be leading the charge.
However, this is just the beginning. Our goal is to achieve net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and 2 by 2030 – 20 years ahead of government targets.
Additionally, we are actively
developing our Scope 3 emissions reduction strategy to extend sustainability efforts across
