Lifecycle assessment

Prevention at the source,
not offsets after the fact

  • No clinker production — eliminates the most carbon-intensive step
  • Ambient-temperature processing — ~57% lower primary energy than published industry reference*; the clinker kiln stage is eliminated
  • Uses industrial waste — reduces landfill and raw-material extraction
  • Verifiable CO₂ avoidance — the quantification basis for the NuGreen carbon program

Carbon program

The same data that proves the reduction
can finance it.

Prevention is the product — the carbon program monetizes it. The independently verified A1–A3 dataset behind the figures above is the quantification basis for carbon crediting, structured under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard framework.

1 credit = 1 tCO₂e

One claim per tonne

Credit value returns through the supply agreement as price support — or as allocated credits. Never both.

Circular economy

Transforming waste streams into
valuable construction materials

  1. 01

    Localized production

    Our mobile production units can be deployed near waste sources and construction sites, reducing transportation emissions by up to 70%.

    −70% transport emissions
  2. 02

    Economic benefits

    Byproduct suppliers save disposal costs, producers run on existing equipment, and avoided emissions are structured for carbon crediting through the NuGreen carbon program — value on both sides of the supply chain.

    2× value: supply savings + carbon value
  3. 03

    Regulatory compliance

    NuGreen's lower embodied carbon, recycled-material content and environmental documentation may contribute toward applicable LEED material and whole-building lifecycle-assessment strategies.

    LEED contribution potential
  4. 04

    Landfill diversion

    Waste materials diverted from landfills and put to work in long-life infrastructure.

    95% of source waste streams diverted Cumulative impact

    Water conservation

    About half the water of conventional Portland concrete — 149 vs ~311 L/m³ across batch and plant water.†

    ~52% less production water†

† Benchmark comparison — NuGreen calculation comparing third-party verified NuGreen reference data with published PCA industry reference data. See methodology below.

Verified environmental impact

Independently verified,
transparently disclosed

NuGreen reference environmental values are supported by independently verified documentation; benchmark comparisons are transparently disclosed as NuGreen calculations.

  • Independent LCA Data
  • ISO 14001
  • ISO 14040 / 14044
  • ASTM C618
  • Supports LEED Objectives

Methodology

How we report our numbers

Environmental figures identified as Independent LCA Data are supported by independently verified environmental documentation within NuGreen's technical data library. Benchmark percentages are NuGreen calculations comparing those documented reference values against published NRMCA or PCA industry datasets. Environmental reference figures are cradle-to-gate, covering raw materials, inbound transportation and production. Benchmark datasets may differ in production year, PCR methodology and system assumptions, so comparisons are provided for contextual benchmarking rather than represented as certified comparative assertions.

Detailed environmental and technical source documentation is available to qualified customers, engineers and specifiers upon request.

Independent LCA data  Environmental lifecycle data supported by independently verified assessment documentation.

Benchmark comparison  A NuGreen calculation comparing documented NuGreen reference performance against published NRMCA / PCA industry data.

Third-party tested  Technical performance where the supporting independent laboratory documentation is currently available.

Technical performance  Established NuGreen technical and performance figures whose underlying test-document provenance is maintained separately.

Cumulative impact  Company-reported cumulative environmental impact based on production and deployment records and reference calculations.

Project value calculator

Model your project's value

Two ways to model NuGreen on your project: environmental impact from concrete volume, or schedule and downtime value from your own return-to-service assumptions.

—

Estimated CO₂e avoided

—

Illustrative carbon-credit value at your price assumption

—

Estimated production water saved

—

Estimated primary energy saved

Estimated impact based on NuGreen reference performance and published industry benchmark data; project-specific performance may vary. Credit value is illustrative only, at your own price assumption — carbon credits exist only after validation and independent verification under the VCS program, and this is not an offer or price quote.
