2 emissions by close to 35% as of December 31st, 2020, ten years ahead of the target date. CEMEX also declared a 55% CO
2 reduction target for its European Operations, aligning with the European Commission goal for all member states.
New range of low-temperature, reduced-carbon asphalts with CarbonNeutral product option CEMEX have introduced a new addition to their Vertua family of sustainable low-carbon building solutions. Vialow is a reduced-carbon asphalt which comes with the option to offset residual CO2 to make it a CarbonNeutral product, in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol.
Vialow uses a specially formulated bitumen additive that permits manufacture at temperatures up to 40°C lower than standard asphalt mixes with no compromise in performance, and with the added benefit of achieving up to a 20% reduction in embodied carbon emissions.
The range includes the Vialow Zero option – a CarbonNeutral product that complements the CEMEX Vertua range of low-carbon building solutions and further enhances CEMEX’s Future In Action strategy, which is committed to net-zero CO2.
CEMEX introduces new ReadyPave® Camden
Global building materials solutions supplier CEMEX presents ReadyPave® Camden, a modern twist on traditional rumbled pavers, which uses a new manufacturing process that ensures a more sustainable and environmentally friendly product.
ReadyPave® Camden retains the classic appearance of a traditional stone sett without a secondary manufacturing process to ‘rumble’ the pavers. This not only creates a more sustainable product by using less energy, but also reduces manual handling and eliminates dust and waste. ReadyPave® Camden’s rustic appearance is softer and more subtle than rumbled paving setts.
The new ReadyPave® Camden is different to CEMEX’s previous multi-sett paving as it is available in a three-size multipack, which can be combined to form various patterns with consistent row widths, to suit any design. By combining all three sizes into one multipack this has reduced packaging and eliminated the potential for waste product
Cemex UK launches Viabase asphalt concrete Written by Global Cement staff

UK: Cemex UK has announced the launch of Viabase, an engineered asphalt concrete. The company says that the product is especially suited to use in residential housing estate roads, where it will be exposed to construction traffic before being surfaced after houses are built. The launch supports the UK government’s drive to increase house building to 300,000units/yr.
Europe regional asphalt, paving and building products director Carl Platt said, “With Viabase, we are pleased to offer a way to ensure the longevity of housing development roads, which standard materials struggle to provide if the surface course is not placed soon after. Viabase provides a highly durable, low maintenance surface which will meet the challenges presented by heavy duty vehicles and prevent long-term problems in the overall pavement construction.”
