Concrete: meeting today's needs without compromising the future...

In response to growing environmental and economic forces, architects, engineers, developers and owners are seeking efficient, innovative building solutions that conserve non-renewable resources.

Increasingly, concrete is being recognized for its strong environmental benefits in support of creative and effective sustainable development.

When considering the lifetime environmental impact of a building material—extraction, production, construction, operation, demolition and recycling— concrete is an excellent choice to meet these goals.
