Concrete Block is Sustainable
Masonry products are the original green products, with concrete block masonry having a carbon footprint 66% smaller than that of cast-in-place concrete wall systems. At manufacture, environmental impact is minimized because our concrete block is made in Scarborough, Ontario from a virtually inexhaustible supply of abundantly available raw and recycled materials. During construction, block versatility helps minimize on-site waste and disposal. Once constructed, the masonry lasts for decades without deterioration and need for maintenance. At the end of its service life, block can be salvaged and re-used, or recycled in various forms.
