Sustainability in Today's Construction:
A Continuous Commitment
At Xypex, sustainability isn’t a new concept; it’s been our guiding principle since the company’s creation in 1969. In today’s context, sustainability means building and developing in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Our crystalline technology epitomizes this approach, providing durable and permanent concrete waterproofing while enabling circular construction practices.
Central to our commitment is helping you reduce your project’s carbon footprint and attain your sustainability goals. Xypex technology has a 60% lower carbon footprint than traditional waterproofing membranes and coatings and contains no VOCs, minimizing environmental impacts. Xypex permanently waterproofs the concrete, resulting in an extended service life reducing the need to replace or repair the waterproofing during the life of the structure, resulting in a much lower lifecycle impact and cost.
Validated by Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and Health Product Declarations (HPD), Xypex aligns with industry standards for efficiency and environmental responsibility, supporting LEED credits. We are dedicated to to a future where construction stands the test of time and promotes environmental health and resource efficiency.
