Green Star Concrete is a specialised mix which is formulated to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete products used in your project.

Our Green Star Concrete combines eco-friendly materials with exceptional quality, promoting sustainability in construction. If you’re looking for a more sustainable concrete option for your project, while ensuring the end-product is durable and strong as regular concrete, Green Star Concrete is your ideal choice.

Our Green Star Concrete mixes meet the requirements of the Green Building Council of Australia Mat 4 Guidelines through alternative cementitious products (ground granulated blast-furnace slag, i.e. GGBFS/flyash), manufactured sands and recycled water.

Environmental 

Concrete is one of the world’s most versatile building materials, however its production is very energy intensive.

At Daracrete we are committed to utilising products that decrease our impact whilst maintaining quality. The demand for more sustainable building materials led to us to investigate how we could implement a reduction of the carbon footprint of our concrete manufacturing by utilising products in a more environmentally friendly manner.

These investigations and research enabled us to develop Green Star Concrete which is equally as strong and durable as regular concrete but takes far less energy to produce.

Placement and quality control 

In order to ensure the sustainability of our Green Star concrete, we have a variety of quality control practices in place.

  • Computerisation JONEL Batch allows flexibility and repeatability in all our mix designs.
  • Dedicated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and flyash silos add the required cement replacement accurately across all mixes.
  • All returned concrete is recovered at a recycling yard.
  • Our closed water circuit allows the maximum quantity of wastewater and stormwater to be available for reuse in concrete manufacture and washout.
  • Water reducers and super plasticisers are automatically metered and dosed into to the load at time of batching. This additive management system minimises the requirement for any addition of water on-site, ensuring a high-quality product.
