Geoprime, a next-generation sustainable alternative to cement

Betolar announced its first concrete products manufactured with Geoprime for the Indian construction markets. The Geoprime products were displayed at the World of Concrete India event in Mumbai between  onstruction markets.

Betolar’s Geoprime is the next-generation, low-carbon solution and a sustainable alternative to cement. Using Geoprime enables manufacturers to create cementfree concrete by effectively utilising industrial side streams such as fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). Manufactured concrete’s durability and strength are comparable to cement-based products, but it outperforms traditional products due to its significantly lower carbon footprint.

“We are happy to introduce our first products to our customers for the Indian markets. We have now moved from laboratory tests into the production phase and can show how well this solution works. It is great to hear the feedback from the concrete industry in the region towards our sustainable solution. “Decarbonisation of the concrete industry is a very current and important topic,” says Abhishek Bhattacharya, Managing Director, Betolar India Pvt. Ltd.

“We are satisfied that our operations in the India and Asian regions are growing, and we have reached a production stage with our first customers in India. It has only been a few months since we published these corporations in India. We are moving forward according to our strategy in the region, “says Juha Pinomaa, VP, Head of Asia, Betolar Plc.

The products on display at Betolar’s stand A27 include various types of paving blocks, concrete blocks, and floor tiles produced by local concrete manufacturers in India.
