ICC’s Durra receives three star eco label for sustainable manufacturing

ICC Durra has remained a silent contributor to bringing down the carbon footprint of Sri Lanka for well over a decade through its innovative product range exclusively made from paddy straw which is mostly treated as waste material. 

This was recognized by the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka (GBCSL) at the annual Green Building awards 2022. GBCSL is affiliated with the World Green Building Council which maintains performance standards for green building practices. 

GBCSL certification has identified the Durra panel manufacturing process to be a good demonstration of sustainable manufacturing and recognized the leadership and commitment of International Construction Consortium (Pvt) Ltd. prominently known as ‘ICC’ as a leading construction conglomerate in the island nation, in transforming Sri Lanka’s building industry to be sustainable and environmentally-friendly Durra Panel Production utilizes well over 1,200 Mt of waste or straw produce annually.

Durra panels are used for dry walls, modular buildings, as well as fire and sound-rated walls and doors. Its innovative production technique itself uses a very low carbon footprint by being very energy efficient with extensive use of solar power to minimize its energy demand.
