Ecocem Ireland is an independent, specialist producer of GGBS cement (GGBS is an acronym for Ground Granulated Blastfurnace Slag). Ecocem’s cement is the most sustainable building material in the world and features a range of environmental, technical and architectural benefits when compared to traditional “Portland” cement.

Scientists tell us that if we look at Europe from outer space we will see a green wave moving up across the continent in springtime. This is caused by the opening of the buds on the trees and hedges.

The Dublin Transportation Office commissioned a public information campaign to encourage the residents of the Greater Dublin Area [GDA] to think about their commuting and travel habits.

Ecocem’s story is an interesting one. Although their business is based on one of the world’s most environmentally unfriendly products – cement - their technology could one day save up to 89 million tonnes of CO2 per annum.
