SKAKO Concrete believes that sustainability will be essential for future profitability and ethical responsibility.
Green Plant Vision
SKAKO Concrete believes that sustainability will be essential for future profitability and ethical responsibility. We’re aware of the building industry’s significant CO2 emissions, particularly from cement production. As alternatives to concrete aren’t likely to emerge soon, we’re committed to reducing our carbon footprint and helping our customers do the same.
Our ‘Green Plant Vision‘ focuses on measuring our emissions and developing eco-friendly solutions for concrete production, aligning with global environmental standards.
Our contribution
Through collaboration with our customers, SKAKO Concrete develop sustainable solutions that enhance their production capabilities. Our services and solutions include:
- Supplying mixers, equipment, and control systems that save energy and facilitate the use of UHPC and other high-strength concrete types with reduced cement requirements.
- Providing equipment for our customers to reuse 100% of wastewater in the mixing process.
- Ensuring our mixers and equipment are designed for reuse.
- Assisting in plant planning to optimize efficiency, considering factors like whether one large plant or multiple smaller ones would be most suitable to minimize transportation needs.
- Designing our mixers and equipment ergonomically to reduce strain and improve the working environment.
Climate-ready production company
In collaboration with Dansk Industri og Industriens Fond, SKAKO Concrete has completed the project “Climate-ready production company” and thereby created a reasonable basis for ongoing monitoring and measurement of the company’s general environmental impact and total CO2 emissions.
The result has become a valuable tool in SKAKO Concrete’s overall environmental efforts in a number of relevant areas, including waste, recycling, energy and processes – but especially the purchase of steel, iron and metal and transport.
The last mentioned areas make up the vast majority of SKAKO Concrete’s total environmental impact, which is why SKAKO Concrete’s environmental efforts are primarily aimed at GHGP (Greenhouse Gas Protocol) scope 3 and the collaboration with our partners and the improvement opportunities that lie in e.g. efficient logistics and optimized transport, circular economy, climate-efficient materials, alternative, climate-friendly fuels, green energy in electricity-heavy processes, etc.
It is through the solid collaboration with subcontractors and partners that SKAKO Concrete is able to make by far the biggest positive difference in the overall, global environmental accounts.
