CLARK PACIFIC COMMITS TO LOW-CARBON CONCRETE
Clark Pacific, a leading provider of prefabricated systems, announced
its commitment to reduce cement content by 25 percent below the
requirements set by Marin County (California) and Santa Monica's
low-carbon concrete ordinances for precast. This effort supports
a new initiative by the White House to bolster innovative and clean
construction materials.
Clark Pacific's commitment is grounded in CarbonShield, the
company's proprietary concrete mix that, combined with the benefits
of offsite construction and efficient design, significantly impacts
construction's carbon footprint. By pledging to reduce cement content
by 25 percent, Clark Pacific will document, verify, and report the carbon
content of the concrete used in its projects, laying the foundation for
future carbon reductions as part of this national effort.
" As a leader in sustainable building systems, we are proud to support
the widespread effort to reduce industrial emissions and accelerate
the adoption of low-carbon materials, " says Allan Bedwell, chief
sustainability officer at Clark Pacific.
