ShareAesthetic impact, minimal footprint: The new era of sustainable decorative concrete
As Australia faces the accelerating impacts of climate change, the design and construction industries are rethinking the materials that shape our cities. Decorative concrete - long valued for its aesthetic appeal and performance - is now emerging as a surprising ally in the push for sustainability.
Australia’s construction industry is at a turning point, with climate resilience and carbon reduction now central to responsible design. As architects seek materials that deliver both performance and aesthetics, decorative concrete is gaining renewed attention.
Aesthetic Impact, Minimal Footprint: The New Era of Sustainable Decorative Concrete explores how advances in mix design, embodied carbon reduction and performance transparency are reshaping decorative concrete’s role in the built environment. This whitepaper equips architects and specifiers with the insights needed to identify and confidently specify sustainable decorative concrete solutions.
Backed by third-party verified EPDs and alignment with key certifications like Green Star and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s IS ratings, Geostone from Holcim offers the transparency essential for today’s sustainable projects. The use of locally sourced aggregates, lower-carbon concrete mixes and optimised production processes further demonstrates Holcim’s commitment to reducing environmental impact while supporting regional supply chains.
