In December 2025, Australia’s concrete industry made an important step forward with the adoption of the GCCA – Global Cement and Concrete Association’s low carbon concrete rating system.
The GCCA framework adoption, led by the Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia, removes confusion around “low-carbon” claims and aligns Australia with a globally recognised rating system, that sits comfortably alongside the existing Australian EPD methodology.
The new rating system covers concrete strengths from 5–100 MPa with ratings ranging from AA through to G. With public procurement the largest driver of demand, clarity and consistency matter more than ever.
At PrimeBatch, together with our world-class equipment partner Simem Group S.p.A., we understand what this shift really means in practice — and how batching plant design and equipment must support it.
So how does our equipment help enable low carbon concrete outcomes?
Our plants deliver precision, flexibility, and control, supporting:
- Accurate dosing and repeatability for blended and low-carbon cements, fibre and admix dosing systems
- Multiple cement and SCM streams (slag, fly ash, limestone, calcined clays), with split-silo / modular configurations available
- Full materials traceability and data capture to support compliance and reporting, including plant energy efficiency data capture
- High-accuracy moisture measurement and real-time correction
Low-carbon concrete isn’t about compromise. It’s about having the right tools to execute smarter mix designs, at scale.
At PrimeBatch, we design and supply batching plants that are ready for where the Australian market is heading.
