Building a Better Tomorrow
Involve Lauren Concrete Early to
Reach Your Project Sustainability Goals
Utilize technology and sustainable alternatives such as fibers in place of rebar, supplementary cementitious materials (SCM’s) and more to help reduce the embodied carbon of your project.
SCMs
Lauren Concrete incorporates supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) into mix designs where they can improve performance, durability, and sustainability. SCMs such fly ash and slag can be used to support more efficient cementitious material usage.
Fibers
Save money and reduce the embodied carbon of your project by utilizing synthetic fibers in place of rebar. Great for applications such as slab on grades, all concrete on steel deck, paving, and sidewalks.
EPDs On-Demand
Lauren Concrete is proud to offer on-demand Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) at our Austin-area plants. EPDs provide transparent, third-party verified data on the environmental impact of our concrete products — helping architects, engineers, and builders make informed decisions for green building goals and certifications.

What's an EPD?
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are like nutrition labels for concrete, providing a transparent look at the environmental impact of concrete to help customers make more informed, sustainable decisions.
Fibers In the Field
Fibers in place of steel rebar were used to reinforce the concrete pads for the Chappell Hill Luxury RV Resort.
In addition to reducing the embodied carbon of the project, extra added benefits of utilizing fibers in concrete include cost savings on steel along with labor and time, reduced cracking and reduced bleed water.
