CHRYSO & GCP Introduce EnviroMix® Impact App

Proprietary app to pre-quantify CO₂ reduction of optimized concrete mix designs expands company’s sustainability program

CHRYSO & GCP (Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals), a worldwide leader in sustainable construction, announced the addition of their proprietary EnviroMix^® Impact App to the company’s Curbing CO₂ at the Source Program for Sustainability.

The EnviroMix Impact App is a tool used exclusively by the CHRYSO & GCP sales team to optimize the mix design approach and pre-quantify the embodied carbon results of customer’s concrete mixes. The calculator assists in accurate pre-quantification of GWP. The app uses industry average data references for Scope A1 to A3 and allows for product specific environmental product declaration (EPD) data to produce comprehensive reports for decision-making.

“Through our sales, technical service, and regional application labs, we assist concrete producers in characterizing their materials and defining targets. This ultimately allows us, alongside our customers, to develop a mix design optimized not just for cost, but also CO₂ reduction,” said CHRYSO & GCP Sustainability and Customer Engagement Program Manager Lisa Barnard. “The EnviroMix Impact App produces comprehensive reports to use as a decision-making tool to optimize the mix design strategy for a given application and performance requirements. The final output allows our customers to compare alternate mix designs against cost and CO₂ impacts for the mixes, material, transportation, and water.”

The EnviroMix Impact App joins the comprehensive solutions portfolio of the CHRYSO & GCP Curbing CO₂ at the Source Program for Sustainability. The program’s team of sustainability experts help customers navigate the challenging carbon neutrality journey throughout the concrete lifecycle. Through an on-demand EPD program, eco-innovation practices and solutions with a partnered approach, the Curbing CO₂ at the Source Program for Sustainability provides concrete producers with products, tools, data, services, and collaboration to develop high-performing, sustainable concrete.

“Innovation is a strategic driver for our growth and our customers’ success,” said Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals North America President Steve Williams. “At the heart of our sustainability program are our concrete admixture brands that help customers make the most of their local materials. Our EnviroMix Impact App is another solution that helps our customers achieve carbon reduction and net zero strategies through the efficient and cost-effective use of materials.”
