At Saint-Gobain, we are committed to pioneering sustainable construction practices worldwide. During my recent visit to our teams in Finland, I witnessed firsthand our transformative projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainability in construction. I had the honor to inaugurate the CHRYSO Hyvinkää Plant. This state-of-the-art facility is set to commence operations this month, supported by a local lab, and will deliver customized concrete admixtures for Finland concrete customers, but also Nordic and Baltic markets. Another milestone is the Raahe Slag Processing Plant, scheduled to begin operations in 2025. This innovative plant is unique in the world and a result of Saint-Gobain's long R&D work to reduce our carbon footprint and help our customers to decarbonize. It will produce low-carbon binder systems using ladle slag from steel production, replacing traditional cements in @Saint-Gobain #Weber mortars and then contributing significantly to our sustainability roadmap. We also launched the #ISOVER Acoustic Roll Low Carbon at our Forssa plant in May 2024.This product not only enhances acoustic performance but also reduces CO2 emissions by one third throughout its lifecycle. Manufactured with up to 85% recycled glass and powered by renewable energy, it exemplifies our commitment to sustainable insulation solutions. Additionally, our initiative to deploy biogas further underscores our dedication to reducing environmental impact. Congratulations to the teams of Saint-Gobain Finland under the leadership of Olli Nikula for their unwavering commitment and leadership in sustainable construction.
The slag processing plant is a remarkable and innovative project that will significantly contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing our circularity. ♻️ Congratulations to our Finnish colleagues! 🇫🇮
It's cool to hear about what's going on in Finland with those sustainable projects! That new plant making low-carbon concrete stuff and the recycled glass insulation sound like they're really pushing for greener ways to build stuff. It's good to see companies taking those steps towards sustainability 🙌
Best of luck!
