Building Blocks from Sugarcane Waste 🌎 A new construction material, Sugarcrete, is transforming the industry. Developed by the University of East London and Architecture Studio Grimshaw, it’s made from 'bagasse,' the fibrous waste left after extracting sugar from sugarcane. This material offers a sustainable alternative to concrete, addressing the need for low-carbon building solutions. Sugarcrete cuts curing time from 28 days, typical for concrete, down to just one week. This advancement provides a more efficient process for construction, allowing for faster project completion without sacrificing quality. Weighing four to five times less than concrete blocks, Sugarcrete is easier to handle and transport, reducing logistical challenges on-site. Its lighter weight also opens up possibilities for innovative building designs that rely on less structural support. Environmentally, Sugarcrete uses only 15-20% of the carbon footprint associated with concrete. This significantly reduces emissions in the construction process, contributing to global efforts to lower the carbon impact of the built environment. In addition to its environmental benefits, Sugarcrete offers a cost-effective solution for construction, with lower production and transportation costs. It’s a strong contender for wide-scale adoption in an industry increasingly focused on sustainable development. #sustainability #sustainable #business #esg #climatechange #climateaction #circularity #circular

recycling is environmentally friendly

New MC aktiv 2/2024 is published The main feature of our customer magazine’s second issue of 2024 highlights the crucial role that sustainability plays in the construction industry. It shows MC’s commitment to a future of sustainable construction by developing cement-free and cement-reduced concretes and mortars. In addition, our MC aktiv once again offers an interesting and inspiring mix of innovations, projects and internal news from the world of MC-Bauchemie. For years, the issue of sustainability has played a key role in the construction industry – and cement manufacturing in particular is increasingly becoming the focus of attention due to the CO₂ emissions that it causes. While cement will continue to play a central role in the future, there is growing interest in sustainable alternatives. Cement-free concretes and mortars from MC-Bauchemie can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 75%. MC is at the forefront of research in this area and is already developing tomorrow’s standards for today with new technologies and sustainable solutions. #mcbaunordic

💡 Fact of the Day: Did you know that concrete is the second most consumed material in the world, right after water? 🌍 Every year, the world produces an astonishing 4 billion tons of concrete to support the construction of homes, infrastructure, and cities—essentially shaping the foundation of modern society. However, this remarkable material comes at a cost. The production of concrete, particularly cement (a key ingredient), accounts for nearly 8% of global CO₂ emissions. As the construction industry continues to expand to meet growing urbanization and development needs, the environmental impact of concrete production cannot be ignored. 🏗️ At SIECORP, we believe in driving innovation to address these challenges. The push for sustainable alternatives is stronger than ever, with advancements in: 🌱 Green Concrete: Using recycled materials, industrial byproducts, and lower-carbon cements. 🌎 Carbon Capture Technologies: Reducing emissions directly from cement production processes. 🔄 Circular Construction: Promoting the reuse of demolished concrete as aggregates for new builds. As a key player in the construction industry, we’re committed to adopting and supporting sustainable practices that balance progress with environmental responsibility. The journey toward greener building solutions is a shared responsibility—and every step counts. What are your thoughts on sustainable construction practices? How can we collectively reduce the environmental impact of materials like concrete? #SIECORP #ConstructionFacts #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #InnovationInConstruction

** Thrilled to announce the publication of our article in Nature: Scientific Reports, which is about transforming construction waste into sustainable building materials! ** Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a significant environmental problem. This study addresses this challenge by exploring the potential of recycled concrete powder (RCP) and recycled brick powder (RBP) for creating new mortar and brick materials. We successfully developed geopolymer mortar and bricks using RCP and RBP combined with a special alkaline solution. These innovative materials demonstrated impressive strength and water absorption rates within standard ranges. This research offers a promising path towards a more sustainable construction industry! By utilizing recycled materials, we can reduce reliance on virgin resources and give construction waste a valuable second life.♻️ The study delves into the impact of various factors on the strength of these geopolymer materials. #FurtherDetails https://lnkd.in/dVHm54_n #construction #sustainability #recycling #waste #innovation #geopolymer
