The Role of Concrete in Sustainable Construction Practices

Concrete’s inherent durability, recyclability, and evolving production techniques make it a powerful tool in the construction of sustainable structures. Its thermal mass helps to maintain stable temperatures and reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling, while its carbon-neutrality enables it to absorb CO2 during its lifetime.

Sourced locally, it minimizes transportation-related emissions and supports local economies. Optimizing mix designs decreases the demand for raw materials, and leveraging industrial byproducts like fly ash and slag further reduces energy consumption.
