Society expects the construction industry to take responsibility for the environmental impact of its activities and use methods that involve less environmental impact and creative safety. The use of precast concrete supports these initiatives through such benefits as:

Redland Precast products are manufactured in a controlled, factory environment in an industrial zone. The products are re-cyclable and are composed of materials that exist in plenty. Where possible, moulds and packing materials are re-cycled.

The production process of precast concrete embodies little energy, compared with other common building materials, a fact highlighted by this survey conducted by the Environmental Council of Concrete Organisation.

The survey considers three product groups – concrete, wood, and steel. For each group, researchers considered the cradle-to-grave impacts on energy expended in all phases of production, transportation, and construction; gaseous and solid wastes generated at each stage; and resource depletion.
