Performance servicing the environment
Responsible producers, specifiers and owners worldwide have placed an increasing value on protecting the
environment and complying with regulations and obligations targeting sustainable development. Over the years,
CHRYSO has been committed to offering a wide range of solutions enabling the construction industry to reach its
health, safety and sustainability goals.
In light of this key commitment we are pleased to offer the industry a revolutionary technology: EnviroMix.
Based on proprietary and patented chemistries, optimized for local materials, EnviroMix provides a revolutionary
tool which enables concrete producers to design and manufacture concrete that is both greener and at the same
time, more profitable.
EnviroMix is engineered to boost Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM) performances, such as slag or fly
ash, thereby allowing significantly higher cement replacements while maintaining the desired plastic and hardened
concrete properties.
EnviroMix technology can be used successfully for all kinds of concrete using SCM: ready-mix concrete, self-
consolidating concrete, precast concrete, site batched concrete

Environment
For every ton of Portland cement produced, up to 1 ton of CO2 is released into the atmosphere.
Reducing Portland cement content by 30% in the concrete mix design allows for decreasing CO2 emissions
by 25 %.
EnviroMix technology contributes to the protection of our environment by allowing a reduction of
Portland cement content while maintaining or improving concrete performance.

The cost of SCM such as fly ash or slag can be up to 60% lower than
the cost of Portland cement. By substituting SCM for cement, the total 60
raw material cost of concrete is reduced.
