Concrete change: the innovative chemistry of sustainable cement

Futurum

This could be by-products from steel manufacturing or mineral mining, or even the reprocessing of old cement from construction or demolition sites. It would be most beneficial if the generated minerals could be reused in the construction or mining industries, to avoid the storage of large amounts of material.”
