Same strength. Same durability. Lower CO2 emissions.
RESHAPE Concrete
Our path toward more environmentally friendly concrete began in 2015, when we established the first EPDs for our products.
Since then, we have continuously optimized our production to create structures that meet the needs of tomorrow.
RESHAPE Concrete Levels
To make specification easier, RESHAPE Concrete is available in three CO₂ reduction levels, designed to meet varying project and environmental targets.

By incorporating supplementary cementitious materials, we achieve up to a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions without compromising quality, durability, or strength.
How We Lower CO₂ in Concrete?
Sustainable products
- We invest in research & development to constantly improve our product recipes
- Our products have EPD certificates, which we constantly upgrade
- Implementation of the “One Click LCA program” for CO2 calculation and life cycle assessment
-
Using locally sourced aggregates
Zero-waste production
- Utilising green energy in production
- Purifying wastewater through filter press technology
- Implementing water recirculation systems
- Adopting new, environmentally friendly equipment in factories
Circularity
- Incorporating re-used elements in structures
- Designing products for re-use
- Re-forming products by utilising rejected elements
RESHAPE Concrete - Proven in projects
CO₂ reduced concrete products have already been used in projects across Scandinavia, enabling substantial reductions in overall project emissions:
Solna Link, Sweden – total project CO₂ reduction: 15%*
Harvestad, Sweden – total project CO₂ reduction: 20%*
Olivin, Sweden – total project CO₂ reduction: 30%*
*Compared to our standard EPD results.
RESHAPE Concrete is established as part of our group-wide initiative - UPB RESHAPE.
It is built on knowledge and decades of technical expertise to ensure projects the best possible performance - structurally, economically and environmentally.
