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.
