Green Building Materials Fact Sheet: Concrete
By Lynne.Karago on 01/08/2015
Concrete is the most used man-made material in the world with twice as much concrete used in construction than wood, steel, plastic and aluminum combined. Although concrete has acquired a negative image due to environmental impacts that occur at various stages of its production, sustainable use of concrete is possible by using alternative stablizers and construction techniques and restricting usage to certain building parts.
