The Ceylon Institute of Builders has awarded Tokyo Super PPC with a ‘Green Mark’, an internationally accredited Singaporean product label.

TOKYO SUPER is the only cement brand with a sustainable accreditation.

TOKYO SUPER PPC was awarded the accreditation for the following reasons:

Local manufacturing is powered by carbon-neutral biomass energy.
Renewable energy project is in compliance with UNFCCC standards.
Use of coal fly ash from Norochcholai power plant recycles locally generated waste in a useful manner.
Minimises energy required in cement grinding by alternatively blending fly ash.
Minimises CO2 emissions by substituting clinker with non-limestone based material.
