Betolar's Ground Slag Approved for Low-Carbon Concrete Emission Calculations

Betolar's ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), supplied through the Port of Hamina, Finland, has been assigned an approved emission value for use in the low-carbon concrete calculator maintained by the Finnish Concrete Association (BY).

The approval is based on an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), a standardized document outlining the environmental impacts of the material. This enables Betolar's GGBFS to be directly incorporated into concrete mix designs aimed at reducing carbon emissions.

Betolar aims to support the construction industry's transition towards lower-carbon concrete solutions. The company's technology facilitates significant reductions in concrete's carbon footprint by replacing traditional cementitious materials.

This official approval allows construction companies and concrete suppliers to readily implement Betolar's materials, accelerating the adoption of more sustainable building practices and construction processes.
