Another milestone was reached for the UK Materials team last week, with the first London delivery of our CarbonNeutral® Readymix product Vertua® Ultra Zero.

CEMEX recently supplied Vertua® Ultra Zero to A J Morrisroe at 250 City Road, London, which forms part of a landmark new development by Berkeley Group. The concrete is being used for the blinding layer of the foundations, with further deliveries expected.

Located in Islington, 250 City Road will be a 36-storey tower designed by world renowned architects, Foster + Partners, which will include luxury apartments and a hotel.

Vertua® Ultra Zero achieves a 70% reduction in embodied carbon emissions, with the remaining unavoidable emissions offset through working with Natural Capital Partners, a carbon offset and carbon neutrality specialist.

Well done to the Materials and Technical teams for securing this customer and helping to provide more sustainable solutions for construction in the Capital!
