The construction industry faces environmental challenges due to concrete’s high carbon footprint and resource use. Concrete production releases CO2 and consumes vast amounts of sand, contributing to resource depletion and environmental damage.
To address these issues, new eco-friendly concrete alternatives are emerging, such as wood-based concrete and recycled concrete.
In France, a groundbreaking project is underway to construct a building entirely from 100% recycled concrete, with completion expected in 2024, marking a significant step toward more sustainable construction practices.
