Since 1.1.2016, dade design produces CO2 neutral and neutralizes all CO2 emissions, from production to delivery to the customer. dade design works with a material that has a significant CO2 emission: concrete. Its components are water, sand, gravel, cement and chemical additives.
Since our concrete plant is located in the Rhine delta, we can source most of the raw materials from the immediate vicinity. However, our cement comes from Germany. There it is extracted from limestone by burning it at about 1200 degrees in ovens. This process releases around 44kg of CO2 per 100kg of cement.
We live in a time when the topic of the environment occupies a significant place in our thinking and acting, we want to keep the world worth living for future generations. In Germany, plats work with good filter systems – whereas, for example, in Africa, massive cement plants blow the exhaust gases practically unfiltered into our world.
