Limestone / low embodied carbon no listings
This sedimentary rock finds its origins deep within the Earth's history, formed over millions of years from the accumulation of marine organisms' remains. Such natural processes have created a material rich in calcium carbonate, resulting in the distinctive appearance and composition that define limestone. The extraction, processing, and transportation of limestone entail relatively minimal carbon emissions when compared to many other construction materials.
