Humes Australia launches its precast concrete range backed by third-party verified EPDs

As part of the Holcim group, a global leader in sustainable building solutions, Humes is committed to sustainability. This means taking steps to decarbonise our operations and providing solutions customers can trust.
We are excited to present the FutureCast and FutureCastZERO product range which represent significant milestones in our commitment to sustainability.

Transparency is core to sustainability progress

Currently, 15% of Australia’s annual greenhouse gas emissions derive directly from the construction and operation of physical infrastructure assets for transport, energy, water, waste and communications . As we continue to invest, partner and innovate, Humes is well positioned to help reshape our industry and find lower carbon solutions to the roads, infrastructures and resources we all need.

I am proud to introduce FutureCast: the precast concrete range backed by third-party verified Environmental Product Declarations.

At Humes, we are committed to transparency with our customers, which is why FutureCast is backed by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs).

Our Precast and Prestressed Concrete Products and Reinforced Concrete Pipes EPDs enable engineers, architects, and specifiers to understand and compare the embodied carbon impact of the materials supplied into their projects. While maintaining the same strength and properties as conventions Humes precast concrete solutions.

One easy carbon neutral precast solution

FutureCastZERO is our FutureCast range with the additional benefit of going carbon neutral with the use of Climate Active certified offsets. FutureCastZERO provides our customers with one easy carbon offsetting precast concrete solution they can trust.

Climate Active is an Australian program that supports businesses committed to sustainability and innovation. This certification means Humes can provide precast concrete solutions customers can trust.
