Current Situation
- Sustainable Mehtods
  - Portland Cement Substitution
    - GGBS
    - PFA
  - Durability
    - Structures last longer
  - Recycling
    - Reducing the need for further extraction of raw materials
- Quarrying
- CO2 Emissions
  - Extraction and Processing
    - Aggregates
    - Cement
  - Transport
  - Operation
- Legislation
  - Life Cycle Assessments
  - BREEAM
  - CEEQUAL
  - Current legislation is award based and is usually only aimed at high-profile builds. Nothing ensures low-profile builds from self employed or similarly small companies make an effort with sustainability
Research

  - Good start up company with a lot of progress, however since being bought out no new data has been released.
- Calera
  - Lower energy chemicals not actually a direct substitute for portland cement or concrete
