Asphalt
The ultimate in protection for a wide range of construction applications offering total waterproofing integrity for roofing, flooring, tanking, bridge decks and car parks. Manufactured to BS6925 and BS1147, the range includes polymer modified, acid and fuel resistant and available in a number of colours to provide a seamless solution in all situations.
One industry – zero carbon
In January 2008, UK mastic asphalt became the first industry in the world to achieve the CarbonZero standard.
Our 100 independent contractors, hauliers, installers and manufacturers are now 100% committed to reducing climate change by cutting the carbon footprint of any building, anywhere.
This means anyone choosing advanced mastic asphalt systems to waterproof their project will get a totally CO2 neutral solution – ideal for eco friendly developments.
The Mastic Asphalt Council’s Carbon 100 initiative also means thousands of associated sub-contractors will have to meet the strict CarbonZero standard.
Where has all the carbon gone
So, we hear you ask, how can an industry the size and scale of MAC – along with thousands of associated subcontractors – go completely CarbonZero?
With help from experts at co2balance, members first evaluated all their processes – from production to delivery and installation – cutting as many unnecessary carbon emissions as possible.
This left MAC with a 165kg surplus of carbon dioxide per tonne of mastic asphalt laid.
Through co2balance, council members are offsetting these harmful emissions by investing funds in energy efficient projects that absorb or prevent the exact tonnage of their Carbon Footprint.
These include:
- Providing energy efficient bulbs in Kenya
- Replacing kerosene lamps in East Africa with solar powered lanterns
- Supporting sustainable forestation projects in the UK
