As early as October 2020, Swiss Prime Site opted for zirkulit® concrete for the new JED building in Schlieren. With the installation of 8300 cubic metres of concrete, a total of over 10,000 tonnes of primary resources were saved and 83 tonnes of CO2 were bound in the material. The use confirms the transformation to a circular economy and sets an example for future generations. With this concept, Swiss Prime Site aims to create flexible and sustainable space for diverse tenants.
Acting together
Circularity is an important element in ecology. Construction plays a decisive role here. Circular economy requires all actors who opt for circular construction.
The latest generation of concrete
Thanks to a special recipe, alternative concrete surpasses all previously known types of concrete in terms of sustainability. For the first time, circular concrete combines resource conservation with a minimal CO2 footprint and can be used throughout the entire house. The environmental properties are transparent and externally monitored. In order to achieve the transformation to a circular economy, building owners such as Swiss Prime Site need to opt for the alternative concrete.
