JAMSHEDPUR – Tata Steel’s commitment to sustainability took a significant leap with the introduction of Tata Dureco, a branded Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS).
This eco-friendly product, launched by Rajiv Mangal, Vice President of Safety, Health & Sustainability at Tata Steel, is set to revolutionize the construction industry.
Tata Dureco, a GreenPro certified material, promises enhanced durability and reduced environmental impact for a range of infrastructural projects.
Utilized in high-rise buildings, dams, bridges, and national highways, this product’s application is evident in significant projects like the Vrindavan Chandrodaya Mandir and the New Ganga Bridge in Patna.
Mangal, during the brand launch in Kolkata, emphasized Tata Steel’s dedication to expanding its sustainable product offerings.
He highlighted Tata Dureco’s role as a partial cement replacement in concrete, following the success of branded slag products Tata Aggreto and Tata Nirman.
