Driving Sustainable Construction with Low Carbon Concrete
The construction industry is increasingly focused on sustainable practices and materials as new emission targets and net-zero goals become essential across many sectors. Some large contractors have gone even further, adopting low-carbon concrete as a standard for all UK projects.
BSI Registered for Quality Assurance
At Concrete King, we are proud to be BSI registered, conducting regular testing to ensure our concrete meets the required specifications for every project. This includes delivering appropriate strengths, grades, and innovative low-carbon concrete mixes tailored to your needs.
Our Commitment to Reducing CO₂ Emissions
Concrete King is dedicated to sustainability and has implemented several strategies to reduce our carbon footprint. Our highly efficient mixing system utilizes A-graded quality aggregates, delivering precise concrete strengths for each application while minimizing CO₂ emissions. Importantly, this approach ensures that we maintain the exceptional quality our customers expect.
Choose Concrete King for reliable, sustainable concrete solutions that help build a greener future.

Reducing Carbon Emissions & Supporting Zero Carbon Standards in London
All major development proposals must include an energy assessment outlining how carbon dioxide emissions reduction targets will be achieved, in line with the energy hierarchy. Under the London Plan (2021) Policy SI2, Zero Carbon Standards apply to all new major developments.
This requires at least 35% of regulated CO2 emissions reductions (compared to the Building Regulations Part L (2021) baseline) to be achieved on-site. The remaining emissions, up to 100%, must be offset through contributions to the Council’s Carbon Offset Fund.
By incorporating our low-carbon concrete solutions, your project can help meet these zero carbon standards and reduce CO2 emissions effectively.
Low Carbon Concrete Suppliers in London
If you’re looking for low-carbon concrete for your next project, we’re here to help. Contact us today for a competitive quote and to arrange a delivery slot that suits your needs.
Whether your project is in London, Kent, Essex, or surrounding areas, our team can provide high-quality concrete mixed to your specific requirements.
The Environmental Impact of Cement
Cement plays a crucial role in concrete production, contributing to approximately 80-90% of its carbon footprint due to the heavy reliance on fossil fuels in its production.
Sustainable Concrete Solutions
At Concrete King, we offer engineered low-carbon alternatives to traditional CEM1 concrete mixes commonly used by most ready-mix suppliers. By incorporating materials such as GGBS, we reduce the amount of cement required in the mix, without compromising on quality or strength.
Our low-carbon concrete can achieve over 50% CO₂ reduction compared to traditional mixes, and in some cases, even deliver higher strengths. Alongside ready-mix concrete, we also provide volumetric concrete and concrete pump hire services.
Reach out today to learn more about how we can help make your project more sustainable while maintaining exceptional quality.
What is Eco Concrete?
Eco concrete is a sustainable, low-carbon concrete mix designed to provide the same benefits and functionality as traditional concrete, but with a reduced environmental impact. This is achieved by minimizing the use of conventional cement and reducing the embodied carbon in the final product.
Can Eco Concrete Reduce Emissions?
Concrete is responsible for 50-85% of the embodied carbon in a building project. By using low-carbon concrete, you can significantly lower the overall emissions produced during construction.
With our modern fleet of over 20 up-to-date vehicles, we offer on-site mixing using volumetric trucks or deliver low-carbon concrete via our drum mixer vehicles.
We carefully source all materials to ensure the lowest possible CO₂ emissions, committed to sustainability for both the present and the future.
The UK construction industry has a goal of reducing emissions by 78% by 2035. At Concrete King, we’re proud to contribute to this target by providing low-carbon products for all construction needs. Our commitment extends beyond the concrete itself, focusing on the efficiency of its production and delivery to your site.
