Partanna has partnered with Saudi Readymix (SRM) to test carbon-negative concrete at SRM’s facility in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is a huge statement of intent as Partanna moves towards sustainable construction practices.
In the course of a full-shift operation, Partanna’s carbon-negative binder was seamlessly integrated with SRM’s existing aggregate to produce concrete blocks, a process that eradicated the use of traditional Portland cement. The concrete blocks produced were tested by materials and technology company ACES, and have met the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization’s requirements.

We are truly impressed by the efficacy and environmental benefits of Partanna’s carbon-negative technology, and how it supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.”
It is anticipated that this innovative new solution will pave the way for cuts in the construction industry’s carbon footprint.
