Green Concrete and Lowering Carbon Emissions
Concrete is the second most consumed resource in the world, following behind only water. It is a well-understood material with excellent properties, including its strength, robustness, and fire and water resistance. Because concrete will continue to be necessary for building new infrastructure as populations grow and urbanize, simply cutting down on construction isn't an option.
