Key Data Set Information
Reference year 2026
Name
Envirocrete 32MPa 20mm (NSW Midwest region)
Technical purpose of product or process Boral’s ENVIROCRETE® concrete is a lower carbon concrete product which complies with AS 1379. It contains supplementary cementitious materials to reduce the portland cement content. ENVIROCRETE® concrete is available with two levels of portland cement reduction. ENVIROCRETE® 30% has a minimum portland cement reduction of 30% compared to the GBCA and ISC reference case and ENVIROCRETE® 40% has a minimum portland cement reduction of 40% when compared to the GBCA and ISC reference case. ENVIROCRETE® 30% and 40% are ideal for general applications where high-performance concrete is not required.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
