Nigeria: Lafarge Africa has launched EcoCrete 20% reduced-CO₂ ready-mix concrete. It is reportedly the first product of its kind on the local market. A national roll-out of EcoCrete will follow the launch. The Sun Nigeria newspaper says that the producer has converted its Abuja ready-mix concrete plant to exclusively produce EcoCrete concrete.
Group managing director Lolu Alade-Akinyemi said "Following on from our ECOPlanet cement, this is another bold step in our mission to support Nigeria's transition to a greener economy."
