Sustainable investing with vision: how we use future-proof materials in our projects

At Bolckmans Group, we believe that sustainable development starts with conscious choices, right down to the core of our buildings. That’s why we use innovative materials such as XCarb® steel, CEMIII B-concrete, and QuadCore sandwich panels in our projects. These materials combine strength, energy efficiency, and circularity, forming the backbone of our future-proof buildings.

 

XCarb® steel: circular strength in every structure

Steel is essential in construction, and with XCarb®, we take sustainability to the next level.

XCarb® is at least 75% circular steel, produced from recycled material and powered by 100% renewable energy (wind and solar). The result?

  • Up to 70% lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional steel
  • Independently verified EPDs that meet the strictest international standards
  • A product that can be reintegrated into the production cycle after its lifetime

With XCarb®, we make our promise visible: strong, future-proof buildings developed with respect for people and the planet.

 

CEMIII B-concrete: less CO₂, more future value

We take a firmly sustainable approach to our concrete choices as well.

CEMIII B-concrete, also known as blast furnace slag cement, has a significantly lower CO₂ footprint thanks to the use of secondary raw materials. The cement replaces a large portion of CO₂-intensive clinker with residual materials from other industrial processes.

This allows us to reduce environmental impact without compromising on quality, stability, or durability.

This type of concrete perfectly aligns with our vision to develop sustainable commercial real estate that lasts for generations.

 

QuadCore sandwich panels: energy efficiency in every wall

For insulation and building envelopes, we use QuadCore sandwich panels, a material that excels both thermally and structurally. Thanks to their innovative insulation core, they offer:

  • Up to 20% better thermal performance than standard panels
  • Long-term energy efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption
  • A long lifespan with minimal maintenance costs

QuadCore combines innovation with practical return: less energy loss, more comfort, and a smaller ecological footprint.

 

Material choices as a sustainability statement

In every new project, we strive to minimize environmental impact while maximizing value for our tenants and surroundings. By using materials that are circular, energy-efficient, and low in emissions, we make a tangible contribution to our mission: “Invest in the future, warehousing with purpose.”

For us, sustainability is not a trend but a structural choice, in every detail, from foundation to facade.
