A new cement bag with less carbon for green building.
Planet® is a cement that helps masons and project owners build in a more environmentally friendly way: – the smallest carbon footprint for cement bags used in building structures, as well as a voluntary way to make up for that carbon footprint. – No garbage on building sites – less tiredness for the worker, and no need to change how they work. Planet® uses the most carbon-efficient cement because it has less clinker and more slag and is made with alternative fuels. It also uses a paper bag that breaks down and a different weight to make work easier on job sites. Planet® is a global solution for building sites that are environmentally friendly. Masons can use it right away in the way they always have.
