As the most widely used construction material in the world, concrete has a significant impact on the environment. Producing it consumes large amounts of raw materials and is responsible for around 10 % of all human-sourced emissions of greenhouse gases, according to the team behind the ENCORE project. Concrete from demolished buildings and structures also generates a large amount of waste each year.
