As cities pursue ambitious net zero goals, addressing embodied carbon — the emissions tied to building materials — is essential for meaningful progress. Low embodied carbon materials, like Glavel’s foam glass gravel, bridge the gap between policy and impact by reducing upfront emissions, enhancing durability, and aligning with circular economy principles. Discover how sustainable materials can transform cities into models for a low-carbon future.
Breaking the carbon cycle in construction is key to building climate-resilient communities, requiring a shift to low embodied carbon materials and electrified manufacturing to combat climate change.
Foam glass gravel aligns with Passive House principles; its thermal insulation, durability, and recycled content make it an excellent choice for underslab insulation in high performance buildings.
As thermal insulation for subslab insulation systems, foam glass gravel is an environmentally friendly, high performance choice for engineers and architects.
Foam glass gravel is a high performance, lightweight fill solution that provides superior insulation, drainage, and load-bearing capacity.
