An Evaluation on the Use of Green Concrete Around the World

Sustainable construction materials and lower-emission alternatives.

Green Concrete

Green concrete can use materials such as fly ash, slag and recycled aggregates to reduce reliance on conventional cement-heavy construction.

Why it matters

The indexed research highlights the potential for substantial CO₂ reductions during production while supporting more circular use of industrial and construction materials.

Smart City Relevance

Lower-carbon construction materials can become part of broader sustainable-city strategies involving infrastructure, procurement and lifecycle planning.
