The Portland Cement Association (PCA) has launched a promotion initiative emphasising the sustainable benefits of portland-limestone cement (PLC).
The association says PLC, engineered with more limestone, performs comparably to Type I portland cement with up to 10% less greenhouse gas emissions.
PCA CEO Mike Ireland says: “This initiative will help educate engineers and other specifiers on how PLC can easily be incorporated into numerous projects.”
As part of the initiative, the PCA haslauncheda microsite covering PLC case studies, applications, frequently asked questions and the status of acceptance in the US and around the world.
Additionally, the website features a PLC calculator that allows builders, architects and designers to input building size or pavement length to see how much PLC can reduce a project’s overall carbon footprint.
