Why Aircrete is a Sustainable Choice

Aircrete can help reduce embodied and operational carbon across a building's lifecycle. Its lightweight composition reduces transport impacts, while its thermal performance helps lower energy demand in use. With up to 70% recycled content and a design life exceeding 100 years, aircrete provides a durable solution for long-term building performance.

H+H's UK manufacturing facilities at Borough Green and Pollington operate using 100% renewable electricity. Onsite wind generation, energy monitoring, water recycling and rainwater harvesting are among the measures helping to reduce the environmental impact of aircrete production. Hydrogen-ready boilers also support the transition towards lower-carbon energy sources.

H+H considers environmental impact beyond its own manufacturing operations. Suppliers are assessed on ESG performance, while raw materials are responsibly sourced and opportunities to reduce emissions are pursued across the value chain. Waste reduction, material recovery and end-of-life recycling also help keep resources in use for longer and support a more circular construction sector.

H+H Environmental Product Declarations provide independently verified information on the environmental impact of aircrete products, giving designers and specifiers transparent data to support whole-life carbon assessment and informed material selection.
