Abstract:
The construction industry's growing environmental impact has intensified the demand for sustainable building materials. Ready mix concrete (RMC), a vital component in modern infrastructure, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, natural resource depletion, and construction waste. Enhancing sustainability in RMC involves a multi-faceted approach, including the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, slag, and silica fume; incorporation of recycled aggregates; water recycling; and the adoption of advanced mix design technologies. Innovations in admixtures, carbon capture techniques, and the use of alternative binders like geopolymer concrete further contribute to reducing the ecological footprint of RMC. Additionally, optimizing transportation logistics and implementing digital monitoring systems improve operational efficiency and reduce energy consumption. As the construction sector moves toward more sustainable practices, the role of industry standards and government regulations becomes increasingly important in driving eco-friendly innovations in ready mix concrete. Green building certifications such as LEED and BREEAM incentivize the use of low-carbon materials and encourage lifecycle assessments to evaluate long-term environmental impacts. Moreover, collaboration between academia, industry stakeholders, and policymakers is essential to accelerate the adoption of sustainable materials and practices. Education and training programs for engineers and construction professionals further support the transition by promoting awareness and implementation of sustainable concrete technologies. Through an integrated approach combining technological innovation, regulatory support, and industry engagement, the ready-mix concrete sector can significantly contribute to global sustainability goals.
