Holcim Philippines Inc. said it has rebranded its flagship blended cement to Excel ECOplanet as it aims to reduce the product’s carbon footprint.
The company said the blended cement will continue to “provide excellent performance for general construction applications, with concrete made durable due to its high resistance to sulfate and low porosity.”
“Through the company’s continuous improvement initiatives, the product’s carbon footprint is now at least 30 percent lower than Ordinary Portland cement qualifying it to bear the ECOPlanet mark,” Holcim Philippines said in a statement on Tuesday. For his part, Holcim Philippines President and CEO Horia Adrian said the Excel ECOPlanet is an “important milestone” in the company’s sustainability journey in the Philippines.
Holcim Excel, as a general purpose cement, is used for concreting for structural elements, such as foundations, beams, columns and slabs of residential and commercial buildings.
