2 One of the most important challenges confronting the concrete industry - to meet the housing and infrastructural needs of society in a sustainable manner! GREEN ENDURING CONCRETE_CMIC 2012_MELBOURNE 4/28/2015

Chemistry can transform construction industry towards sustainability Contributes to 30 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions Displaces the most productive land Consumes up to 40 % of the worlds energy Contributes to loss of biodiversity and ecosystems Causes 10% of the world´s emission of fine dust Chemical innovations help the construction Industry to become more sustainable with innovative solutions through chemistry Chemical innovations help the construction Industry to become more sustainable with innovative solutions through chemistry 4/28/2015 GREEN ENDURING CONCRETE_CMIC 2012_MELBOURNE

Case Study 5 : Hydration Control Agents 4/28/2015 GREEN ENDURING CONCRETE_CMIC 2012_MELBOURNE The disposal of returned plastic concrete and concrete washwater is an environmental challenge for concrete producers. It is estimated that approximately 2 to 10 % of all concrete produced is returned for disposal potentially creating unnecessary landfill waste. With HCAs, producers can control cement hydration to better manage returned plastic concrete and also reduce concrete washwater.
