FireCrunch Helps Eliminate Tree Destruction

These NEW composite MgSO4 K-Clad products save millions of oxygen-generating CO2 absorbing trees to make paperlined plasterboard. Plasterboard and lining paper production contribute significant levels of toxicity and eutrophication to water, as well as toxicity to land. Eutrophication occurs when a body of water receives an excessive nutrient load, particularly phosphorus and nitrogen as from wood pulping. This often results in an overgrowth of algae. As the algae die and decompose, oxygen is depleted from the water, and this lack of oxygen in the water causes the death of aquatic animals, like fish. Chemical wood pulping involves the extraction [...]

Substantial extra benefits in MgSO4 products apart from lower prices

Hi Impact stronger 1.15g/cm3 These very strong hi impact Magnesia (MgSO4) products are up to 8-10 times stronger than plasterboard and enable a single 10mm sheet (CSIRO) to cover fire for FRL 90/90/90 (90 minutes), otherwise requiring 2 layers of 16mm Fyrchek and similar plasterboard, 50% less in materials, install costs and freight This halves the material cost, site handling, installation, freight weight transport cost, crane up time, and halves the screw fixings materials cost. This all increases a project's ROI. MgSO4 cladding composites have no paper linings These MgSO4 composites have no paper linings, so are better suited to [...]

Looming Discriminatory Tender Issues In CO2 And Construction

New discriminatory tenders prices for high CO2 emitters have already started in Europe Some countries like Norway recently began applying an additional default add-on pricing % for Government tenders, relative to the level of CO2, turning a lowest tender, high CO2 emission product price, into the highest! They use an assessment scale of CO2 pollutive values, seriously affecting products like plasterboard which have little, OR NO CARBON CAPTURE STORAGE (CCS) VALUE. Who has been using MgSO4 Products in Australia? See More in Gallery Change may eventually be forced These CO2 pollutive assessments may well be expected to be expanded through [...]

Understanding Government Estimates & CO2 changes in 2023-2030 Construction Industry

Carbon Considerations courtesy Soben Inc USA 2023 The race is on in the construction industry to support the global transition to net zero. Recent years have seen improvements in reducing operational carbon emissions, but a lack of clear benchmarks and reporting standards as so far hindered progress around embodied carbon. But what is embodied carbon? Soben’s Head of Sustainability, Dr Bonahis Oko, explains. It’s no longer enough for companies to reduce their immediate carbon emissions, they must look up and down their value chains too. For those building new assets, that means considering embodied carbon. But when people say ‘embodied [...]

The Bushfire Season got off to an early Start

Protect Your Property & New Builds Concerns are mounting about the upcoming bushfire season after the ACT experienced its driest June on record and sixth driest July since 1982. The new head of the ACT Bushfire Council, Sarah Ryan, said recent weather conditions had prompted concerns about the bushfire threat in the capital. "We are more concerned about the upcoming season than we were last year," Dr Ryan said. "There's been very little winter rain throughout south-east Australia and it's been quite warm, so it's expected that the fire season this year will be more hazardous." This alarming concern [...]
