There are hard choices ahead for construction, but concrete must shake off its huge carbon footprint - Mark Gillespie, CEO of sustainable construction materials specialist RECYCL8, commented: The importance of reducing the immense CO, emissions of the concrete industry cannot be overstated. According to the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Low Carbon Concrete Routemap, in the UK alone, concrete accounts for approximately 1.2% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, although globally, the cement production GHG emissions associated with the use of concrete could be as high as 4-5%. |
