Tackling concretes carbon footprint

The construction industry is grappling with a pressing challenge related to its carbon footprint. Concrete alone is responsible for over 7% of global CO2 emissions, primarily stemming from the production of cement, which is a key ingredient in concrete. This significant environmental impact necessitates immediate attention and action.

As governments and regulatory bodies introduce stricter legislation aimed at decarbonising the construction sector, these policies are increasingly influencing planning decisions and budget allocations across the industry. While there are existing technologies available for cement replacement, many of these solutions are proving to be unsustainable in the long term. As a result, the need for innovative and effective alternatives has never been more critical.
