In this episode, Estelle is joined by Ali Kashani from UNSW and Evan Smith, National Sustainability Manager at Holcim, to explore one of the construction industry’s biggest challenges—decarbonising the way we build.
As the push toward net zero continues to accelerate, the conversation around concrete is evolving beyond strength and performance to focus on lifecycle impact, material innovation and smarter decision-making across the supply chain. From low-carbon concrete and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to circular economy principles and emerging technologies like 3D concrete printing, this discussion unpacks what it really takes to make sustainable construction practical, scalable and commercially viable.
Together, they explore the role industry, research and government all play in driving meaningful change, and why collaboration will be critical to building a lower-carbon future.
