Ecocem, a European provider of low-carbon cement technologies, has achieved ASTM C1157 certification for its ACT I cement. This major milestone affirms the performance, durability and reliability of ACT, its scalable low-carbon cement technology, for use in the US market. Unlike traditional cement specifications that prescribe raw material composition, ASTM C1157 is a performance-based standard, allowing for innovative formulations. Ecocem’s ACT technology proves that sustainable cement can also be high-performing, highly efficient in terms of material usage and cost-effective. It is a signal to the US market that we’re ready to deliver a scalable decarbonization technology,” said Steve Bryan, managing director, Ecocem Americas.
