Tarmac launches CEVO brand to simplify lower carbon concrete procurement. Tarmac has launched a new umbrella brand, known as CEVO, that includes a simplified system for rating the carbon footprint performance of its concrete products. The new brand is part of a commitment to make it easier for Tarmac customers to make informed decisions and procure lower carbon concrete mixes and solutions. In a UK-first CEVO, aligns Tarmac’s extensive range of proven concretes to the leading industry standard ratings provided by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Green Construction Board Low Carbon Concrete Routemap. CEVO stands for ‘concrete evolution’. Through the new system, all of Tarmac’s concrete mixes are graded by strength into a series of bands to meet customer requirements. Just like energy ratings that are provided to consumers buying white goods, the carbon performance of each concrete mix is visually represented by a transparent and easy-to-understand colour-coded benchmark, from A++ to G. The company has also unveiled a new carbon calculator which provides customers with access to concrete carbon footprint data at the click of a button. The tool has been created using Tarmac data benchmarked against the Green Construction Board standard and calculated in accordance with PAS 2050 methodology. It makes it easier to compare different products and identify lower carbon alternatives from the range of concretes in use across the market. Andrew Campling, head of readymix concrete performance at Tarmac, said, “As a business we’ve been developing industry-leading low carbon concrete technology over many years, and have a comprehensive range of tried and tested solutions that perform just as well as traditional concrete in terms of strength, versatility and durability...
