Carbon negative bricks and brick slips developed by Encos Ltd will be on display on
stand G3 at Greenbuild
Expo 2012. This major sustainable refurbishment and building event will take
place on 9 – 10 May at Manchester Central.
Encos bricks and brick slips are made from a combination of recovered
aggregates and vegetable-oil-based binders. They are manufactured using a
patented method which is based on research originally carried out at the
Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Leeds by Dr John Forth into
the use of alternative binders in construction materials. The process consumes
no water, and produces no waste.
Mark Nichols, CEO of Encos Ltd said:
“Our carbon negative masonry units fit in perfectly with the Greenbuild Expo
sustainable refurbishment and building theme, and we are delighted to have the
opportunity to exhibit, demonstrate and discuss the properties of our
carbon-negative bricks and brick slips at this important sustainable
construction event. Because we are close to coming to market, the timing is
ideal to explain to delegates how our products can help improve the
sustainability performance of new builds and in refurbishing properties.”
