Aesthetic impact, minimal footprint: The new era of sustainable decorative concrete

Australia’s construction industry is at a turning point, with climate resilience and
carbon reduction now central to responsible design. As architects seek materials that
deliver both performance and aesthetics, decorative concrete is gaining renewed
attention.

The white paper ‘Aesthetic Impact, Minimal Footprint: The New Era of Sustainable Decorative
Concrete’ explores how advances in mix design, embodied carbon reduction and
performance transparency are reshaping decorative concrete’s role in the built
environment. This white paper equips architects and specifiers with the insights
needed to identify and confidently specify sustainable decorative concrete solutions.

Backed by third-party verified EPDs and alignment with key certifications like Green
Star and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s IS ratings, Geostone from Holcim
offers the transparency essential for today’s sustainable projects. The use of locally
sourced aggregates, lower-carbon concrete mixes and optimised production
processes further demonstrates Holcim’s commitment to reducing environmental
impact while supporting regional supply chains.
