Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The synergic utilization of Finely Ground Calcium Carbonate of high purity from Omya and the innovative chemical admixtures from Master Builders Solutions allows optimization of the powder content of mortar and concrete, with a remarkable impact in terms of sustainability: reduced CO2 emissions and significant water savings. Concrete is the first man-made material produced in the world and is responsible nowadays for roughly 8 % of the global CO2 emissions. With growing population and increasing urbanization, the amount of concrete globally produced will further increase in the future, but this is not sustainable for the environment. Nowadays, the concrete industry cannot retrieve from taking actions to mitigate the environmental impact of its activity and move steps towards the achievement of the challenging goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
