Jason Bassett Island Block & Paving CEO said:
“For our ‘Sustainable Products for the Future’ to be the first Australian Carbon Neutral certified range of bricks, building blocks, pavers and retaining walls, is a reward for our committed team.

The carbon neutral certification covers our entire sustainable range and importantly for designers there is no opt in carbon offset scheme requirements. The CarbonRATE third party verified certification gives specifiers comfort that all emission reduction claims are NOT just what we say, but what we do”.

Expert Endorsement and Commitment to Sustainability
Dr. Nana Bortsie-Aryee, Program Director of Global GreenTag International, says:
“Island Block submitted products from their ‘Sustainable Products for the Future’ range to the CarbonRate™ program to quantify and show improvement in their carbon emissions. The products emerged from the assessment with very good CarbonRATE™ results. They show that throughout the life cycle of these products, from sourcing raw materials to the manufacturing processes and through to end of life and beyond, 100% of carbon emitted is being accounted for through a combination of emission reduction initiatives and carbon credits.”
Dr. Bortsie-Aryee adds:
“In these times, there needs to be a strong focus on the protection, restoration, and rejuvenation of biodiversity to help hold back climate change. Island Block & Paving emission reduction initiatives, to help decarbonize the built environment are designed into the products and their manufacturing processes. They demonstrate a commitment to support construction projects that are also aiming to lessen their impacts on the environment and contribute to the reversal of climate change.”
