Green cement and precast concrete will compete with conventional materials in the built environment

About 50 % of primary raw materials in Europe are used in the construction sector where at the same time more than a third of all waste is generated. Given the fact that primary raw materials are limited, we need innovative solutions and ways to preserve the environment. This is where the project SeRaMCo (= Secondary Raw Materials for Concrete Precast Products) comes into action. Led by the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany and funded by Interreg North-West Europe (NWE), 11 universities and business partners from Belgium, France, Luxemburg, Germany and the Netherlands collaborate to raise the material efficiency in the construction sector.
