Ibstock outlines steps to create world's first net-zero carbon brick factory
Brick manufacturer Ibstock has chosen its Atlas facility in the West Midlands as the location for what it claims will be the world's net-zero carbon brick factory.
The investment into the Atlas factory will deliver net-zero emissions across Scope 1 and 2, Ibstock has confirmed. Scope 3 will be addressed at a later date
Last year, the company outlined its intention of setting a net-zero carbon goal for its operations. The company’s sustainability report outlined how reducing embodied carbon, reducing energy use, procuring renewable energy and offsetting unavoidable emissions would help achieve the net-zero ambition. These will help inform and shape a wider net-zero commitment set to arrive in due course.
