Breakthrough for low carbon concrete

Description

The Mineral Products Association (MPA) has announced a major breakthrough today as part of the mission to produce low-carbon concrete. 

Containing calcined clays made from reclaimed resources, the MPA said the low-carbon concrete has successfully been used to produce 26 L-shaped retaining wall units at clay and concrete building products manufacturer Forterra's Somercotes site in Derbyshire using calcined clay cements containing as little as 55% Portland cement clinker.
