CEMEX announced that Vertua®, its first-ever net-zero carbon Concrete, will soon be available in its major markets worldwide after a successful launch in Europe.

Vertua®, a family of products that ranges from low carbon to the first net-zero CO2 Concrete in the market, places CEMEX at the forefront of the building materials industry’s efforts to mitigate climate change.

“We believe that climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, and we are committed to doing our part to address it. Vertua® is clear evidence that we can transition to a carbon-neutral economy, where concrete is an essential component in the development of climate-friendly urban projects, sustainable buildings, and resilient infrastructure,” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of CEMEX.

Customers in several European countries are using Vertua® in flagship infrastructure projects and many climate-friendly building projects, reducing their construction CO2 footprint significantly.
