Betonilaatta Ltd. will be the first concrete manufacturer to start producing paving slabs which are based on Betolar's low carbon Geoprime® solution, where cement is replaced with industrial sidestreams. Betonilaatta has entered into the first contract with SRV for the supply of low-carbon Geoprime paving slabs. These first slabs will be installed at SRV's Lentue which is a new site near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. 23 apartments will be built in the residential area.

The upcoming Lentue site includes renewable energy solutions and sustainable construction. The building is heated by emission-free geothermal energy and the solar panels placed on the roof produce the electricity used by the geothermal heat pumps. Lentue will become a site that is based on life-cycle thinking, where construction solutions meets well-being, economic value and the interests of residents and the environment for years to come.

The site will be built in an environmentally responsible manner. In Europe, construction consumes more raw materials than any other industry, about half of all raw materials. Construction solutions have a very significant impact on combating climate change.

Solutions based on life-cycle thinking can contribute to the long-term functioning of society.
