PrīmX CO2 Emissions Reduction Calculator
More than 160 million square feet of PrīmX floors and pavements are in service in distribution centers, warehouses and manufacturing facilities around the world.
PrīmX is a game-changer compared to traditional concrete, providing unmatched durability, affordability and efficiency — while improving safety and sustainability. See how PrīmX floors outperform traditional concrete in various industrial applications.
“According to the most recent survey of Portland Cement Association (PCA) members, an average of 927 kg (2044 lb.) of CO2 are emitted for every 1000 kg (2205 lbs.) of portland cement produced in the U.S.

So for a typical PrimX slab in North America, we have about 505 lb/yd3 of cement, which then means (2044/2205)*505=468 lb CO2 per yd3 of PrimX concrete.
