Home Living Products, Direct Delivery of Sustainability to the Customer
Cement-Building Materials Business presses ahead with developing materials for construction of energy-efficient buildings and thus reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The following products have been SCG Green Choice-certified:
- Q-CON lightweight concrete for building walls. Its heat resistance rate is 7-14 times higher than other brick varieties, and its large size helps save transport cost and shorten construction period. Lightweight concrete thicker than 10 cm. is proven to insulate a structure from external heat by more than 30%, saving at least 9% of electricity use while reducing GHG emissions by at least 0.75 kg.CO2eq per square meter per year.
- SCG Fiberglass Insulation helps save electricity and reduces GHG emissions by at least 0.79 kg.CO2eq per square meter per year. Furthermore, it is made from 100%-recycled glass, and the fiberglass is certified non-carcinogenic by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Responding to Industry User’s Needs for Green Products
Awareness of climate urgency among consumers prompts industries to develop more green products. SCG has exerted efforts to level up its production to achieve higher GHG emissions cut and circularity, for industry users to manufacture yet more climate-resilient products.
GHG Emissions Reduction | Reduce Resource Use | |
Cement-Building Materials Business | Tiger Décor, Marble Render, Easy-Mix Formula reduces CO2 in its production process by at least 300 kg.CO2eq per ton compared with Type 1 White Portland Cement | SCG Fly Ash Pipe Concrete is concrete pipe made from 3.46% by weight mix of recycled fly ash, while maintaining its strength and life cycle. This is manufactured by SCG factor in Indonesia. |
SCG Chemicals (SCGC) | Polypropylene Compound Plastic Resins, GSV90BL and GSV65BL. Aluminum substitute material used in making ladder inside vehicle. It is light weight, strong and high-impact resistant. Its use reduces GHG emissions by up to 60% compared with conventional production using aluminum-based material. | EcoClear-PP, clarifying agent for polypropylene products, promotes use of recycled plastic as substitute material in production by at least 20% weight-wise, with no effect on the product’s clarity and food-packaging safey certified. |
SCG Packaging (SCGP) | Glassine Paper produces through an environmentally friendly process that can reduce energy consumption during production by at least 2% per ton. It can also reduce GHG emissions by at least 8 kg CO2eq per ton. | Fest Fresh Pak increases renewable material use by up to 80% of its weight compared with polypropylene tray, while maintaining its strength and able to keep food fresh according to customer’s requirements. |
Success Case
5,983 tCO2eq per year
SCG Packaging (SCGP) factories manufacturing corrugated paper have installed solar generation capacity and are using solar energy to power production processes at an overall rate of 15%, reducing GHG emissions by 5,983 tCO2eq per year.
