EcoSmart aims to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the production of Portland cement for use in concrete construction.
Our focus is on enabling the building industry to innovate and adopt new technologies that will reduce GHG emissions in a manner that is ecologically and economically smart.
We connect concrete suppliers, owners and developers, structural designers and concrete contractors to use EcoSmart concrete in construction projects.

To produce EcoSmart concrete, the Portland cement in a concrete mixture is partially replaced with a maximum amount of supplementary cementing material(s), while maintaining or improving cost, concrete performance, and constructability.
EcoSmart concrete is not a proprietary technology or a rigid formula; rather, it is a customer-friendly way of describing concrete that is optimized to achieve the least environmental impact with no adverse affect on construction schedule and costs, or on the quality and performance of the concrete.
Rather than supply the concrete materials, we provide technical support to project teams, and help to develop standards, guidelines and specifications.
Our objective is to enhance and share the growing knowledge and experience about EcoSmart concrete. We are achieving this through technology innovation, demonstration projects, and knowledge management. The knowledge base provides access to EcoSmart case study and technical reports, presentations and experts.
