Our Approach
Sustainability is not a box to tick at Permacast, it is a fundamental pillar of our approach to business, deeply embedded in every step of our operation. From the very design of our concrete mixes to the sourcing of materials and delivery of finished products, we build with tomorrow in mind.
Rather than relying solely on virgin materials, we embrace circular economy principles. We view WA’s industrial waste streams not as a burden, but as a resource. As an industry leader in WA, we’ve developed high‑recycled‑content concrete mixes that greatly reduce dependence on Portland cement by incorporating local by‑products and addressing a major source of embodied carbon in construction.
We’re replacing up to 40% of traditional raw materials with recycled content and industrial by‑products, cutting emissions, reducing transport waste, and boosting regional resilience.
We recognise no one acts alone. That’s why we partner with universities, industry bodies and government to validate low‑carbon technologies, deploy innovations at scale and champion stronger sustainability standards. In a sector with limited mandates, we are striving to lead change and build confidence in sustainable concrete solutions.
Authenticity matters. We commit to rigorous testing, external validation, independent benchmarking and transparent reporting. With Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and compliance to industry standards, we hold ourselves accountable and ensure our products stand up to real‑world performance and climate expectations.
By utilising local materials and by‑products, we reduce reliance on imported inputs and reduce transport‑related emissions. Our approach creates value for communities, supports local industry, and contributes meaningfully to the built environment’s resilience.
At Permacast, sustainability isn’t just “an initiative”, it’s how we define our future.
