Together, these materials account for 14% of global carbon emissions, a huge contributor to such a huge challenge for the construction industry.
Joining editor of Construction News Colin Marrs for this inaugural episode are Ian Riley, chief executive of the World Cement Association, and Dr. Michael Sansom, sustainability manager at the British Constructional Steel Work Association.
