Kann has introduced a product line called “Klimalieblinge” (Climate Favorites), featuring paving and masonry systems designed to contribute in various ways to reducing CO₂ emissions and conserving resources. The product range includes items made with CO₂-storing raw materials, geopolymers, recycled concrete, and solutions for “sponge city” concepts.
Different Approaches to CO₂ Reduction
According to the company, the ProKlima Zero paving stone reduces CO₂ emissions by 100% compared to conventionally manufactured concrete pavers. The key is a CO₂-storing raw material made from processed biomass, which replaces some of the conventional concrete components and permanently binds the carbon it contains within the concrete.
According to the company, the ProKlima paving stone reduces CO₂ emissions by 65% compared to conventional paving stones. To achieve this, Kann completely eliminates cement from the core concrete—which makes up about 90% of the paving stone—and instead uses a concrete mix containing geopolymers.
The Vios RX40 paving stone is manufactured with at least 40% recycled concrete. According to the company, the material required for this comes from regional construction and renovation projects.
Recycled Concrete and the “Sponge City”
The product line also includes the Muro Renature decorative wall, which contains at least 30% recycled concrete.
The product range is complemented by the Vios Urban Climate Paver. According to the company, this paver can absorb up to 10 liters of water per square meter (with a paver thickness of 8 cm) and release it back into the ground or allow it to evaporate over time. This is intended to help relieve the burden on the sewer system, improve the microclimate, and enable its use in “sponge city” concepts.
