The precast panels have 25% less cement and over 20% less embodied carbon - a reduction we can push much higher (we've reduced carbon in precast panels by over 40% in another recent project, for LT McGuinness and Latteys).

This shows we're closing in on the 30% carbon reduction-by-2030 goal set by Concrete NZ. (Right - Neocrete team watching Concretec pour low carbon Neocrete precast panels, with Stevenson Concrete).

‍With projects like this, Kāinga Ora is hoping to become a catalyst for industry-wide transformation, particularly in sustainability and innovation.

We are certainly hoping more Kiwi companies will take the lead and push the boundaries of traditional construction.

This single pilot project saved ~10 tons of carbon in concrete, the equivalent amount captured by 500 trees growing for one year.

Now imagine all projects in NZ using Neocrete?
