North London<\/h2>\n<p>EcoPark South is the first phase in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nlwa.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">North London Waste Authority\u2019s<\/a> plans to create a \u00a31.2bn sustainable waste management hub and Energy Recovery Facility at the existing Edmonton EcoPark.<\/p>\n<p>The low carbon concrete mix used on the project <a

compared to traditional concrete.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor Woodrow is building a new flagship Resource Recovery Facility, public Reuse and Recycling Centre, and a new visitor, community, and education facility as part of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Exegy\u00ae and Ecocem rely on a network of partner plants, such as the global building materials supplier, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemex.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CEMEX<\/a>, which produced the Exegy\u00ae ultra-low carbon concrete for the pour.<\/p>\n<p>The <a

Express and in the construction of the Athletes\u2019 Village in Paris for summer 2024.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Helping to reach net zero by 2050\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Miche\u00e1l McKittrick, managing director, Ecocem, said: \u201cOur Ecocem Ultra technology is already being used at scale in France, and we\u2019re excited to now see it being adopted in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cement and construction industries are developing and deploying a range of emission reduction technologies to help the UK government reduce emissions by 78 percent by 2035, and reach net zero by 2050, and Ecocem will add a further dimension to these efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018A key factor in our journey towards carbon neutrality\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Nerissa Patel and Alex Mitchell, project managers for Taylor Woodrow, also commented: \u201cWe are proud to have led the first use of Exegy\u00ae ultra-low carbon concrete in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>Ultra-low carbon concrete is a key factor in our journey towards carbon neutrality and this marks an exciting step towards achieving it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Accelerating the reduction in CO2\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Steve Crompton, director of Quality and Product Technology for Materials West Europe, CEMEX, stated: \u201cCEMEX is committed to reducing the embodied carbon in our range of cementitious products and we have ambitious targets to lower CO2 levels in concrete, including a global commitment to produce net zero concrete for all our customers by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have been working with VINCI and Ecocem in France to investigate how alternative cement technologies can accelerate the reduction in CO2 in readymix concrete and are delighted to be involved with the project at Edmonton EcoPark to demonstrate how this new technology can contribute to ultra-low carbon emissions in concrete.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ecocem and Taylor Woodrow have conducted their
