UK: An installation consisting of reduced-CO2 walls made with cement-free materials has won the Royal Horticultural Society’s People’s Choice Award, the Silver judge’s award and a Young Gardener of the Year nomination at the Tatton Park Flower Show in Cheshire. DB Group subsidiary Cemfree supplied its cement-free mortar for the garden’s structure, while PPG subsidiary CCP supplied its cement-free Greenbloc concrete blocks. The installation is the first time both materials have been used in combination.
Commercial manager Adam Gittins said “Finding ways to help the construction industry tackle CO2 emissions is an important challenge.” He added “Highly visible community projects like this are helping get the word out about climate change.”
