When the 10 millionth truckload of concrete made with CarbonCure’s technologies was delivered this winter, it marked a powerful signal of how far lower carbon concrete has scaled in real-world construction. Reaching this volume reflects years of consistent adoption, production and collaboration with hundreds of concrete plants across North America and around the world. The producer behind that milestone 10 millionth load was Cavanagh Concrete Ltd., a ready-mix supplier based around Ottawa in Canada, that has fully embedded CarbonCure across its operations.

To mark our 10 million truckloads milestone, we recently caught up with Kevin Brennan, General Manager at Cavanagh Concrete, to explore what the 10 millionth load represents, why sustainability is increasingly important to business, and how CarbonCure plugs into Cavanagh’s approach to delivering high-performance concrete with a lower carbon footprint.
What does supplying the 10 millionth truckload of CarbonCure concrete mean to Cavanagh?
Hitting the 10 millionth truckload milestone with CarbonCure is a proud moment for Cavanagh Concrete. It shows that our investment in sustainable technology is delivering real impact for our customers and our community.
This milestone is a testament to what can happen with the right innovation and collaboration. Our team has embraced CarbonCure as a core part of how we operate, not just an add-on.
Why did Cavanagh decide to adopt CarbonCure?
Green initiatives, such as CarbonCure, are becoming a requirement to be a sustainable organization. Cavanagh Concrete wants to be an industry leader and invest in technology that helps address climate impacts.
We don't see our sustainability initiatives, including CarbonCure, as optional anymore. They’re essential for any company that wants to build responsibly. We’re proud to be ahead of the curve and to show what leadership in low-carbon concrete truly looks like.
How does CarbonCure align with Cavanagh’s commitment to performance and quality?
Cavanagh Concrete is determined to lead the way in adopting technologies that reduce our environmental impact without compromising performance. With CarbonCure, we’re delivering the same high-quality concrete our customers expect and trust, just with a lower carbon footprint.
One of the biggest advantages of CarbonCure is that it doesn’t change the strength or reliability of our mixes. Our team rigorously tested every mix to ensure CarbonCure met our performance standards, and the results speak for themselves. In the end, our customers get the same performance they expect, but they can also feel good knowing that their procurement of greener concrete is making a difference.
From residential pours to major commercial jobs, the performance of our concrete made with CarbonCure’s technologies is indistinguishable from our traditional mixes. The only difference is the positive environmental impact.
How has CarbonCure been implemented across Cavanagh’s operations?
We’re proud that CarbonCure has been fully implemented across both our residential and commercial operations. Our Quality Control team and CarbonCure’s experts have worked hand-in-hand to ensure CO₂ dosages perfectly complement each mix design.
How does CarbonCure support Cavanagh’s business and customer requirements?
CarbonCure’s solution has allowed us to emphasize our commitment to sustainability. With regulatory trends and increasing interest in reducing embodied carbon , the emissions reduction aspect of this technology is becoming an expectation for many of our clients’ projects.
We routinely bring prospective customers through our plant to show them CarbonCure in action, and the response is always positive. Demonstrating the technology firsthand has helped us win work as more developers, designers and building end users look want to use greener building materials.
Our clients are increasingly asking for concrete with a lower carbon footprint, and CarbonCure allows us to confidently meet that demand. We take great pride in celebrating this 10 millionth truckload milestone alongside CarbonCure, proving sustainability and performance can go hand-in-hand.
What does the future of low-carbon concrete look like?
I do believe it is possible for the cement and concrete industry to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, but it will require many more of our peers to proactively review their operations, mix designs and materials. The good news is that we can make real, incremental progress, today, without changing plant operations, the economics of our business or the cost of our products.
CarbonCure has elevated the sustainability value we bring to every project. This milestone underscores that lower-carbon concrete isn’t the future. It’s already here, and it’s making a difference.
Ten Million and Counting
The 10 millionth load of CarbonCure concrete highlights what’s possible when proven technology is scaled through strong producer partnerships. Cavanagh Concrete’s commitment to deploying CarbonCure across its operations shows that sustainability and performance can move forward together.
