Earlier this year we launched the UK’s first Carbon Neutral Concrete Block – ReadyBlock Zero which was very well received and has generated much interest.

The feedback from our customers encouraged us to explore expanding our Carbon Neutral portfolio to include other core products.

Last week CEMEX UK launched our ReadyBlock ZERO 1400 Lightweight blocks and ReadyBrick ZERO Concrete Common Bricks which are available in Dense and Lightweight to provide our customers with a complete Carbon Neutral Concrete masonry solution. This launch enables our customers to meet the concrete block requirements for housing and commercial developments using solely CarbonNeutral® products.

Carl Platt, Urbanisation Solutions Director of Asphalt, Paving and Building Products for Europe, commented: “The initial launch of our ReadyBlock Zero dense concrete block was very well received, with customers asking us to expand our range further to include lightweight and common brick options.

I’m proud of the way we have quickly responded to feedback and now offer these two additional products nationwide. Together, they can present significant savings on emissions – imagine how much of a difference could be made to the carbon footprint of the construction industry if the ReadyBlock Zero and ReadyBrick Zero products were used for every new home built!”
