ABSTRACT
With the increased focus on sustainable construction, building products are being required to document the environmental impact associated with their manufacture and show continuous improvement. For concrete construction, environmental impact can be documented from the source ingredient materials, manufacturing process, and the composition of the concrete mixture. In the use phase of concrete buildings and infrastructure, there are several advantages that can be documented. This article focuses on the concrete mixture and demonstrates how improved concrete quality can play an important role in developing concrete products with reduced environmental impact and contribute to sustainable development.
