Concrene Limited and Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. just signed an agreement to curb the carbon footprint from concrete and modernise the industry. GNP (Graphene Nano Platelet) products have been tested in a number of concrete dispersions by Concrene and have shown compressive strength improvements of greater than 20% with loading of less than 1% by weight. 

With an aggressive goal of achieving Carbon Net Zero by 2030, Michael Edwards, Thomas Swan Advanced Materials Commercial Director, said, “With 8% of the world’s carbon emissions emanating from concrete production, this demonstrates a tangible commitment...consolidating our position as a global volume manufacturer of graphene.”

A University of Exeter spin-off, Concrene works with a range of stakeholders in the precast concrete and house building sectors.
