Sustainability

At Casafico, our commitment to sustainable practices is not just a philosophy; it's a core principle embedded in the very design of our products. A prime illustration of this dedication is our innovative Levelling Coat, a testament to how we transform waste into valuable resources.

This ground-breaking product is meticulously engineered with an impressive 100% waste aggregate, a crucial component that astonishingly constitutes a significant 66% of its total content. We actively and strategically source this diverse waste material from a variety of local streams, forging strong partnerships with transfer stations, active building sites, and a multitude of businesses located throughout the vibrant state of Queensland. By diligently intercepting these materials before they are relegated to landfills, we make a profound contribution to a truly circular economy, thereby dramatically reducing environmental impact and conserving precious natural resources.

Our comprehensive process involves the meticulous recovery and sophisticated reprocessing of these diverse waste aggregates. This transforms what would otherwise be discarded as refuse into a high-performance, integral component for our Levelling Coat. This innovative approach not only drastically minimizes the demand for virgin resources, thereby reducing our reliance on newly extracted raw materials, but also proactively addresses the pressing societal issue of waste accumulation within our local communities. The tangible result is a product that not only consistently meets and often exceeds the most stringent industry standards for performance, durability, and longevity, but also profoundly embodies our visionary outlook for a more sustainable and environmentally responsible future in the construction industry.

Furthermore, this innovative product significantly enhances both safety and performance, leading to a remarkable increase in the speed of application for our highly skilled Solid Plastering Trade. Our advanced levelling coat technology offers unparalleled advantages over traditional sand and cement renders, particularly when considering crucial metrics such as volume, weight, and overall logistical efficiency.

Volume and Weight Efficiency: A Paradigm Shift

Compared to conventional renders, our levelling coat delivers an astounding 2.4 times the volume per bag, while remarkably weighing a full 2 kg less. This astonishing difference translates into profound benefits across the entire supply chain, from manufacturing and transportation to handling and application on site. The reduced weight per unit directly contributes to lower fuel consumption during transit and significantly less physical strain on workers. The increased volume per bag means fewer bags are needed to cover the same area, leading to less packaging waste and fewer trips for material replenishment.

Logistical Advantages: Streamlining the Supply Chain

Consider the logistical implications for a typical semi-trailer carrying 22 pallets of product. With our highly efficient levelling coat, the total payload weight is a mere 19,800 kg. In stark contrast, to transport the equivalent volume of traditional render, the weight would escalate to a formidable 50,688 kg. To put this into even sharper perspective, achieving the equivalent volume of our innovative levelling coat using traditional render would necessitate a staggering 2.4 semi-trailers. This stark comparison vividly illustrates how our product leads to substantial reductions in freight costs, significantly lowers carbon emissions associated with transportation, and drastically simplifies overall logistical complexities, resulting in a more efficient and environmentally friendly supply chain. This translates directly into cost savings for our clients and a reduced carbon footprint for every project.

Enhanced Safety and Application Performance: Empowering the Trades

Beyond the undeniable logistical advantages, the inherently lighter weight and considerably increased volume of our levelling coat directly contribute to a significantly enhanced safety profile for solid plastering trades professionals. The reduced physical strain from handling lighter bags, coupled with fewer trips required to replenish materials, cultivates a markedly safer and more ergonomic working environment on site. This minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and improves overall worker well-being. Furthermore, the meticulously engineered properties of our product inherently enhance both the speed and ease of application, substantially boosting the performance and overall productivity of our highly skilled plasterers. This remarkable efficiency gain, seamlessly coupled with the superior finish and enduring quality that our product consistently delivers, firmly establishes our levelling coat as the unequivocally preferred choice for contemporary construction projects that prioritize both sustainability and peak operational performance. It empowers plasterers to achieve more with less effort, ensuring projects are completed faster and to a higher standard.
