SUSTAINABILITY
At Glycode, we continuously make a conscious effort toward sustainability to ensure the needs of future generations and by taking a holistic approach to consider everything from our manufacturing, logistics, and customer service. Adopting this holistic approach propels us to utilize resources efficiently and to find new and innovative ways to create a low environmental impact in everything we do.
A sustainable product meets the needs of the present generation while protecting the needs of future generations. Sustainability requires us to ensure that we are responsible for resources by minimizing our ecological footprint, part of our global environmental approach. We strive to improve the environment and society by promoting economic, social, and cultural well-being to offset adverse impacts on sustainability and improve sustainability and economic return for our plantations.
Our Titerpenoid Glycoside is an all-natural, sustainable, and eco-friendly material widely used in the concrete admixture industry, Aquaculture, and Agriculture.

*Air entraining admixture refers to the admixture that entrains a large number of uniform, stable, and closed tiny bubbles in the process of mixing concrete to reduce the segregation of concrete mixture, improve the workability, and enhance the anti-freeze ability and durability of concrete.
*Water reducers are admixtures for concrete that are added to reduce the water content in a mixture or to slow the setting rate of the concrete while retaining the flowing properties of a concrete mixture.
Concrete - Sustainable, Durable, Resilient
Concrete is an extremely long-lasting material that holds up to normal wear and tear and stands the test of time by resisting natural or man-made disasters. These features make concrete a highly sustainable building material providing durable and resilient structures that last. These features make concrete an excellent choice for the planet with an environmental footprint that is spread over many decades.Cost and Maintenance ~* Long-lasting materials
-
Less maintenance
-
Applicable for all climates
-
Non-combustible with no rotting, warping, sagging, or mold when exposed to moisture. Excellent choice for minimizing building and maintenance costs.

Carbon Footprint
The presence of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is associated with carbon emissions. The carbon footprint of buildings takes into account longevity and energy usage. Since concrete proves to be a durable and resilient building material, owners can save money on operating costs over a long period.Concretes’ long life and energy efficiency also minimize harmful Co2 emissions. Consider that more than 40% of carbon dioxide emissions come from the operations, heating, and cooling of buildings, which amounts to approximately 10% of the world’s energy consumption.Choosing concrete for buildings helps the environment because concrete walls have thermal mass properties that slow down heat transfer to maintain temperatures, thus minimizing the carbon footprint.
