Welcome to Sustainable Concrete
Concrete is one of the most versatile and widely used building
materials in the world. It plays a vital role in many aspects of
everyday life - from the buildings we work and live in, to the
roads, bridges and railways that transport us. It is a key element
in the social and economic well being of us all.
Throughout its lifecycle, concrete can deliver real
sustainability benefits, but it also has some negative impacts.
Sustainability is a key issue for the UK concrete industry. We are
tackling the industry's own performance head on, enhancing positive
attributes and managing and reducing other impacts through
technical innovation and concrete design. The industry is committed
to behaving in a responsible way to improve sustainability
performance and to deliver sustainable construction
solutions.
