THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2023

Construction materials manufacturer MAPEI Corporation recently introduced a new family of carbon-neutral products.

According to the emailed release, specifiers, contractors and homeowners can use these materials to fully offset CO2 throughout their entire life cycle.

“For MAPEI, our carbon-neutral status is achieved by calculating the product’s carbon footprint an reducing it to zero through a combination of efficiency measures in-house, as well as through the acquisition of certified carbon credits in support of renewable energy and forestry protection projects,” said Brittany Storm, Sustainability Manager.

“We understand that being carbon neutral is not enough, this is just the start, we’re looking at our products and in our facilities themselves to reduce our carbon emissions.”
