  This is Concrete:
The concrete industry uses 20 times more waste than it produces
 
 

This is Concrete is a UK-wide campaign focused on showcasing sustainable design and construction and sharing interesting facts and experiences. Based around case study examples and intriguing information This is Concrete is full of surprises.

This is Concrete encourages debate and project-based feedback to support sustainability in the built environment. The existence of the industry performance data (for the latest industry report visit www.sustainableconcrete.org.uk) and technical guidance from MPA The Concrete Centre (www.concretecentre.com) is essential to the This is Concrete campaign, as it supports the transparency and integrity of the campaign.

For example did you know that:

  • Responsible sourcing -
    81% of concrete production is responsibly sourced to BRE BES 6001.
  • Waste reduction -
    The concrete industry uses 20 times more waste than it produces.
If you have any concrete facts, projects or stories that you would like to talk about, why not join the debate and visit our website www.thisisconcrete.co.uk or follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/thisisconcrete. You can also upload your images to www.flickr.com/photos/thisisconcrete.
