Urban Concrete and Climate Change

Urban Concrete Green Report: Leading the Future of Sustainable GFRC

For 17 years, Urban Concrete has pioneered Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) panels that unite form, function, and environmental responsibility. As we expand into the USA and aim to become North America’s largest and greenest GFRC manufacturer, our commitment to sustainability drives every panel we produce—setting a new standard for eco-conscious construction.

A Greener Material by Design

Our GFRC panels are engineered with the planet in mind:

• • 40% Recycled Content: Each panel incorporates 40% recycled materials, reducing waste and raw resource use while maintaining superior quality.

• • Ultra-Lightweight Innovation: At just 3.5 lbs per square foot for a 1/2″ thickness, our panels cut transportation emissions and structural demands—up to 75% lighter than traditional concrete.

• • Natural Durability: With a 25-year warranty, our panels resist weather, fire, and wear, minimizing the need for replacements and repairs over decades.

Building a Sustainable Tomorrow

Urban Concrete is pushing the boundaries of green construction:

• • Low-Carbon Future: We’re developing a next-generation GFRC mix with reduced emissions, targeting a 20-30% lower carbon footprint by 2027—backed by planned solar-powered facilities in Canada and the USA.

• • Circular Economy: Our panels are 100% recyclable, supporting a closed-loop system that keeps materials out of landfills.

• • LEED Leadership: Certified for LEED points, Urban Concrete empowers architects and builders to achieve top-tier sustainability ratings on projects of any scale.

Scaling Impact Across North America

As we break ground in the USA by 2027, our vision is bold: to clad North America’s skylines with the greenest GFRC panels available. From boutique facades to high-rise icons, we’re reducing the construction industry’s environmental footprint—one lightweight, recycled panel at a time. Our upcoming U.S. facility will amplify this impact, slashing shipping emissions and serving the continent’s biggest projects with unmatched efficiency.

Why It Matters

Construction accounts for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions. At Urban Concrete, we’re not just building panels—we’re building a legacy of sustainability. Our natural palette of soft grays, warm taupes, and deep charcoals doesn’t just elevate design; it embodies a promise to harmonize beauty with planetary health. By choosing Urban Concrete, you’re choosing a partner dedicated to greener buildings, stronger communities, and a thriving future.
