The mining of concrete materials contributes to 21% of the worlds total green house gas emissions. Sand, as a natural resource is also becoming harder to find and more costly to make.
Pfane uses no sand in the production of it's concrete, instead we use concentrated amounts for non-metalic fibers left over from the recycling of circuitboard waste.
