Our products of GGBS, Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (“RAP”), and Eco-Block put circular economy into practice. This green product strategy demonstrates how resource conservation along the supply chain of sourcing construction materials is feasible. Besides, KWCM is proud to obtain the CIC Green Product Certification, which is led by the Construction Industry Council and the Hong Kong Green Building Council, for our 15 mixes of ready-mixed concrete.
