Are concrete facing bricks environmentally friendly?
Concrete facing bricks are 100% recyclable. The aggregates used in the manufacturing of our facing bricks are sourced from our own quarry which is only 10 miles away from our factory. This greatly reduces our impact and carbon footprint. Tobermore concrete bricks are manufactured in the UK and have no adverse environmental impacts associated with imported products such as clay bricks.
Concrete Brick have a BRE A+ Rating for brickwork. Concrete facing bricks emit less CO2 than clay alternatives. For e.g., Tobermore Kingston bricks – 290kg CO2 per 1000 bricks (figure independently verified March 2024) vs. clay bricks – 453.19kg CO2 average per 1000 bricks (data taken from clay brick average EPD).
