Defining "Green Concrete"

概要

Just as the term "sustainability" remains difficult to clearly define, the concept of sustainable concrete material is also difficult to define. The term "green" is often applied in order to convey that the environmental impact has been reduced, such as "green building" or "green energy." In the case of concrete materials, "green concrete" could then be taken to mean concrete which has a reduced environmental impact or enhances the natural environment. However, the environment is just one aspect of the more-general term sustainability. This paper takes a look what ideas and approaches have been taken to develop "green concrete," and also discusses other aspects of concrete and concrete construction which may not qualify as "green" but are still important to consider for improving sustainable practice in the concrete industry.
