Environmentally Friendly:

With its 100-year service life, concrete conserves resources by reducing the need for reconstruction.

Typically produced locally, concrete’s ingredients are cement and readily available natural materials, which require very little processing. Concrete incorporates recycled industrial byproducts such as fly ash, slag and silica fume, which helps reduce embodied energy, carbon footprint and the quantity of landfilled materials.

Also, concrete does not require any CO2 absorbing trees to be cut down, and concrete actually absorbs CO2 throughout its lifetime.

All of these factors, and many more, make concrete an environmentally green construction material.
