Sustainability within the construction industry centres on improving the financial, technical and environmental performance of materials, products and buildings, throughout their lifecycle. At Ceram, thanks to our materials expertise, analytical abilities, consultancy experience and industry knowledge, we are able to provide the construction sector with a broad range of sustainability services.
We help to drive product and process performance, improve cost efficiencies, generate new revenue streams, and strengthen sustainability and corporate responsibility claims. We develop construction materials, products and solutions for manufacturers, raw material suppliers and end-users, through the innovation of new and reformulated products that are manufactured from sustainable primary and secondary (recycled) raw materials – these go on to be utilised in buildings or structures designed for future needs.
Ceram projects include:
- • Carbon footprinting manufacturing processes and products
- • Water footprinting manufacturing processes and products
- • Resource efficiency – capitalising on both what you have and what you produce
- • Assessment of recycled materials into products
- • Assessment of potential leaching of dangerous substances from products
- • Alternative uses for manufacturing or industrial process ‘waste’ streams into products
- • MARSS Survey – alternative, recycled and secondary raw materials survey undertaken annually for the UK brick manufacturing industry
