Omission of VOC's and Portland Cement
With the increased concern of the environmental effects of the production of Portland cement, Nood have responded by removing this from our concrete composition. Sustainable practices are paramount at Nood Co, from prototyping through to delivery, each step in the manufacture process has been modified with a sustainable view. 85% of Nood Co's concrete composition and packaging material is sourced from within Australia, including the finest sand grades and natural admixes.
Embodied Energy
Nood Co has created a unique blend of UHP concrete that uses around 96% less energy than that to create its ceramic equal. A ground breaking statistic. Nood Co basin manufacture involves the use of multiple silicon molds and a handmade process. Machinery-aided manufacture has been avoided to ensure an extremely low embodied energy and pollution emission rate, whilst not compromising on efficiency and production output.
Eco Friendly
