Scientists Develop Lower-Carbon Cement Alternative From Recycled Glass and Construction Waste

In a new study, scientists have found a way to turn industrial waste, such as recycled glass and construction waste, into a soil solidifier that is cement-free. By cutting out the cement, the material serves as a lower-carbon material for green construction. According to the UN Environment Programme, the built environment and construction sectors make up 37% of total global emissions. Cement, in particular, is one of the highest-emitting materia…
