Indigenous Procurement Specialists (“IPS”), a division of Workplace Warehouse Pty Ltd (“Workplace Warehouse”), was established on 12 February 2024 and seeks to provide procurement solutions for the mining and resources sector.
The procurement solutions available through IPS are underpinned by Workplace Warehouse’s Vision. We have formed strategic partnerships with like-minded companies, so we can secure procurement opportunities with the view to creating future employment opportunities for Aboriginal people.
This means you fulfil Aboriginal procurement targets through your relationship with IPS and you can be assured that we can deliver through the capability of our partners. Over time, we will introduce an Aboriginal workforce into the equation to provide employment opportunities that do not exist today.
IPS can assist you to demonstrate accountability and transparency in your Reconciliation Action Plan and Aboriginal Procurement Policy journeys.

Cement – Low Carbon, High Performance
Our cement products are essential in the global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) market because they are high performance and reduced carbon cement alternatives for the concrete, precast, mining and construction markets.
RCO2
RCO2 is ‘reduced carbon dioxide’ (trademark pending). The product target market is users of Calcium Aluminate Cements (CAC) and the greater performance binder market. CAC is currently the most widely used performance binder in the world and exhibits a carbon emission of up 1,400kg per tonne (1.4 units) manufactured.
RCO2 exhibits a carbon emission of 715kg per tonne (0.715 units) manufactured, halving the emission figure generated by CAC cements. Impressively, RC02 also outperforms CAC cements with speed and overall strength. It can be used as a 100% OPC replacement or added or mixed in varying proportions. It is a blended powder.
Green Binder™
Green Binder™ is the environmentally friendly performance binder and can be used as a 100% ordinary Portland cement (OPC) replacement or added or mixed in varying proportions. It is a blended powder.
Green Binder™ displays almost identical performance characteristics as RCO2. This should be an adequate reason to displace CAC and other performance cements.
Green Binder™ is more than just a performance cement. It has a calculated carbon emission factor (CEF) of only 0.127 versus OPC (cement) 0.88 and CAC between 1.2 to 1.4. Green Binder™ has 10 times less carbon and greater performance than the world’s best cement binder.
K20™
K20™ is designed to partially replace OPC for the highly practical application of simply ‘making’ concrete, for any purpose. The scientifically recommended application is OPC 70% to K20™ 30%. K20™ can be added on-site. It is a powdered chemical admixture which complies to AS1478.1 (Chemical Admixture for Concrete) – Special purpose set-accelerating, high range water reducing, strength enhancing admixture.
It enhances the speed of cure in the early stages and can achieve a typical 28-day strength in 2 hours – more than 300 times faster than a conventional concrete. It reduces carbon emissions by a minimum of 20% per cubic metre of concrete compared to conventional concrete.
CA958
CA958 stands for Concrete Accelerator 958 (Usain Bolt’s 9.58 second 100m world record). It is a patented concrete set accelerator and is trademark pending. It is a liquid but can be sold as a solid.
CA958 is designed to be added to the K20™, RCO2 and Green Binder™ base technologies. If added to these base systems, it can achieve results 500-700% greater than standard, benchmark results.
All the above-mentioned products are a system. Patent protection for the CA958 was paramount to protecting the overall technology inter-reactivity.
Full patent has been granted in the United States, South Africa, Australia, Eurasia, India and Canada. Pending application for the European Union.
Shotcrete and Other Proprietary Products
GreenTech Cement’s shotcretes (wet or dry, high performance, carbon reduced or not) are suitable for underground mining and civil application. If GreenTech Cement does not have a fit for purpose product ‘off the shelf’, then it can develop or design it for your specific needs.

Specialised waterproofing and coatings (most with desirable sustainability attributes).
Standard and specialised grouts for commercial, mining and infrastructure.
