Environmental Impact

Gyvlon® flowing screeds can reduce embodied carbon by up to 90% whilst significantly increasing recycled content compared to traditional cementitious screeds

At Anhydritec, we recognise that material choices in construction play a critical role in environmental performance. Our Gyvlon screed products are designed with sustainability at their core:

  • Manufactured from up to 98% recycled material, supporting a more sustainable supply chain (ISO 14021 certified).
  • Capable of significantly lowering embodied carbon compared to cement-based screeds.
  • Produced using synthetic anhydrite, a by-product of industrial processes, reducing reliance on virgin raw materials.
  • Manufactured without the intensive quarrying and high energy consumption typically associated with cement production - one of the world’s largest sources of CO₂ emissions.

By choosing anhydrite (calcium sulphate) based products, new and refurbishment construction projects can take a meaningful step towards reducing environmental impact without compromising on performance.

Gyvlon Screed vs Traditional cementReducing Embodied Carbon and GHG Emissions

Manufactured using high levels of recycled content and requiring less material thickness than traditional alternatives, Anhydritec screeds help lower overall carbon emissions from the outset of a project. 

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions savings depend on factors like transport distances, mix design, recycled content, and site practices. The most reliable way to compare is by reviewing Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the screeds considered.

Environmental product declarations (EPDs) are playing an increasingly significant role in construction product data. Choosing materials with EPDs offers major advantages across a wide range of projects, from enabling more informed, sustainability-focused specifications to supporting compliance with respected building standards such as LEED and BREEAM.

Our products' EPDs have been issued by an independent third party, Environdec, and can be found below.
