Concrete Industry Initiatives & Achievements:

Ready Mixed Concrete is one of the most environmentally sustainable construction materials used today:

• The majority of concrete contain cement that includes by-products of other industries such as fly ash from coal-fired power stations and ground granulated blastfurnace slag from the iron industry;
• Thermal mass properties. When used in UK buildings the use of concrete reduces need for air conditioning and so saves energy and CO2 emissions.
• Ready-mixed concrete is locally supplied, the average delivery distance is 6 radial miles and thus environmental impact due to delivery are small
• Concrete is supplied by volume where the exact amount is ordered to just fill  purpose-made moulds (formwork) , and hence there should be no waste.
