EnviroconNZ Information

It is often said that concrete is the second most used resource on earth after water, it is essential to modern life. Our world is literally built on it, and in New Zealand we will produce almost 10 millions tonnes of it this year. Excess ready mix concrete is a uncontrollable outcome. About 300,000 tonnes of New Zealand’s concrete will end up wasted, simply because it can’t be used before it hardens. But waste in our industry isn’t just limited to concrete. Bad design of traditional building materials creates waste in labour during the build process, and waste at the end of life of the structure through destructive dismantling. In a world of limited resources, reducing waste and increasing productivity is essential to achieving sustainable growth. This is why Envirocon exists. Great design lies at the heart of our business. We think about the people who will use our blocks, and the places our blocks will be used. We think about how the needs of the structure may change over time, and what will happen at the end of its life. Our designs are guided by the power of simplicity, because simple systems are fast to learn and easy to use. From this approach comes unique building systems - Interbloc and Stonebloc. At the core of the systems is a concrete block. The block designs look simple enough, but when you dive deeper they deliver a powerful combination of benefits. They’re fast to install, reducing wasted time and labour. They deliver unparalleled durability, increasing the life of the structure. Most importantly they can be dismantled and reused at the end of life, reducing resource and financial waste. Simply put, this means by partnering with us, you reduce waste and increase productivity in your business.
