<strong>Concrete</strong> <strong>and</strong> The <strong>Environment</strong><br />

Oportunities<br />

being disposed of in road-bases <strong>and</strong> l<strong>and</strong>fills every year, in<br />

recycle most of it as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate<br />

in concrete mixtures.<br />
