In current system of construction, cement, sand and water are the key ingredients. While cement manufacturing contributes to Global warming, the shortage of water is also an important issue to be addressed. Water is a crucial element in operations & functioning of cement products, be it mortar/plaster/concrete. The sand required for good quality building has to be graded river bed sand, which is damaging our ecology due to heavy excavations of river beds. While we say we are ‘developing’, in reality we are actually ‘destructing’ what we have.

Judicious use of water and other natural resources such as sand, labour & time is the need of the hour. We need development while maintaining harmony with nature.

Judicious use of water and other natural resources such as sand, labour & time is the need of the hour. We need development while maintaining harmony with nature.

Solution

With conscious intentions of environmental ethics we at Green Build Products have developed a range of innovative eco-friendly construction products in our in-house lab, which are useful in construction systems at various stages. These products act as substitutes to existing materials wholly or partly. They also simplify the existing construction process at an affordable rate.

These construction materials are made using selective industrial wastes, environmental pollutants such as Thermal power ash, polymers and are completely free from Portland cement, river bed sand and eliminate the use of water for onsite mixing, pre-wetting and curing.
This innovative technology for building walls, plastering, repairing and maintaining helps in saving time, labour, resources such as water, sand, energy and in turn offers value addition to the quality of construction materials in different industries/sectors. The entire technology is water based, non-hazardous, and user friendly and made from recycled waste materials.

Free Environmental pollutants such as fly ash, bottom ash , pond ash which otherwise are harmful and difficult to dispose are utilized safely, to reduce the pollution. Special efforts are taken to choose ingredients which do not harm the ecology.

• To offer eco-friendly construction products which will help in reducing the carbon footprint of the industry.
• To offer products for clean construction.
• To save crucial natural resources such as water and river bed sand
• To utilize alternate eco-friendly materials which do not harm nature and can be renewed to avoid depletion of other resources
• To enable waste disposal by utilizing it for a better purpose – that is to make the BEST of WASTE!

Value Addition

• All the products show excellent bonding, adhesion to the substrates.
• he presence of optimal polymers prevents cracks thus protecting the surface from the moisture & pollutants ingress.
• The pot life is more than 7 to 8 hours in open pot & 20 to 25 days if sealed & kept in container. This saves lot of material wastage.
• Since the product is ready to use, involves no addition of any chemicals or water on site, it is quality controlled at production end & possibility of contamination on site is eliminate.

• Saves water : No pre wetting & post curing with water required
• Reduction in Carbon Footprint due to absence of cement
• Reduction in ecological footprint due to absence of riverbed sand
• Clean construction & no material wastage due to ease in application, increased pot life and shelf life

Value addition

• Value addition to the building due to crackfree joints and facades
• No water / moisture ingress, no fungus / mildew and no damages due to crackfree walls
• Negligible VOC : Non – hazardous environment for applicators and occupants
• Social & economic upgradation for labour and generation of women employment

Water Saving

• 100% Water Saving
• All our products are ready to use, wet mix & no need addition of water or any chemical on site.
• The masonry units/surface does not need any pre wetting or post curing with water.
• The curing of product is by air drying, thus entire water in the product is evaporated & a return to environment.
• Thus water is used only for work ability.

Material Saving

• Since the density of all our products is lesser than cement mortar products , and since the application is in thin layers between 2 to 6 mm in most products the overall material requirements is lower ,which causes low consumption of raw materials.
• Construction using GBP products results in light weight Construction, which ultimately causes low consumption of steel, and concrete in the construction industry.

Free form hazardous VOC and lead:

• All the ingredients in the product are non hazardous and free from lead, mercury and any toxic volatile organic components.
• Thus using our products is completely safe for applicators as well as occupants, and there is no harm to the nature.

Zero Discharge Products

• There are no discharges in the manufacturing, to air water and land. Water used in cleaning is very less and also recycled and reused within the premises.

Generation of women employment and up gradation of standards

The end users of the product are the applicators who are doing the masonry work in the current construction system. Since the material is easy to apply, it is possible for lady masons too to construct the walls. Helpers who are presently generally women’s can be trained & promoted to be the masons with very less efforts. Even the male helpers on site can be promoted to masons thus improving the payment scales on site, while elevating the standard of working, safety, & producing better quality work / output in less time & less effort than in the current practices.

Today the world is in desperate need of natural resources and alternatives to traditional pollution generating methods. At GBP, we have made continuous efforts to save energy and resources. By using recycled materials, we are saving a lot on manufacturing resources. Our products do not need water and are very easy for application, hence saving water and labour. Being ecofriendly we save huge amounts of carbon footprint as compared to conventional construction methods.

Energy Saving

• Since the product is ready to use, there is enormous saving of labour, time, energy, material handling on site & supervision. (Separate inventory of cement, sand, additives & water is needed in conventional practice).
• The mason need not be supervised as no addition of any ingredient is needed on site.
• Internal logistics on site is also saved due to one time inventory.
• The product is smooth / soft & needs less effort to spread compared to the conventional cement mortar. It spreads like butter thus saving time & labour.
• 50% labour saving – thus saving human power.
• 50 % saving of time – results in faster construction.
• Since there is no wastage of material even during application, the site remains clean.

Energy Conservation

• Electrical requirement varies from @ 0.5 to 0.7 KWH / ton of production.
• On site, there is no need for separate inventory of individual ingredients such as cement, sand and water which is essential in conventional practice. This saves electrical energy needed for storage & transport of water from storage to work area.
• Human energy is saved due to onetime transport of the ready material – Separate labour & time is required to carry cement bags, sand, Gradation of sand by sieving, pre-wetting of masonry units, post curing of constructed walls, plastered walls and other additives in conventional method are eliminated, which is mandatory in case of conventional materials & process.
• he material is light weight compared to conventional mortar, which makes the application easy, as less effort is needed to spread & apply the material.
• Less material requirement helps in saving the precious natural materials.

Saving of carbon foot print

@ 60% to 75% by material to material comparison (based on data by ICE) A 1000 sq.ft. flat or a premises has @4000sft of masonry work and @8000 sq.ft. of plastering work including internal walls and excluding openings, by thumb rule. A housing complex of say 20 floors with 4 flats on each floor will amount to @100000 sq. of floor space which means 4.00 lacs sq.ft. of masonry and 8.00 lacs sq. ft. of plastering. By studying this we can calculate roughly how much cement, sand and water can be saved (As per ICE – Inventory of carbon Energy (www.bath.ac.uk/mech-eng/sert/embodied). Cement mortar 1:6 has embodied carbon of 0.136kgCO2/kg and 0.177 kgCO2/kg, which means manufacturing 1 ton of cement releases @ 900kg of CO2 for every 1000kg of cement produced. (As per information available in various articles and internet) That means by saving 9 tons of cement we can save 8100kg CO2 and so on.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

• Our product has no cement. Thus, there is no release of CO2 which supports in preventing global warming. In case of cement manufacturing, the consumption of raw materials as well as the energy from fossil fuels is extensive.
• Our products are composed without river bed sand and hence do not damage the ecology.
• One of the major ingredients of our product is Fly ash / bottom ash which is a main pollutant of environment. That means our product helps in reducing environmental pollution.
