The world today is leaning more towards sustainable and green construction methods. The use of pozzolanic waste materials in concrete has gained prominence in recent years due to environmental and economic benefits. One such waste material that has recently shown promise in the construction industry is foundry sand. Traditionally used in the metal casting process, foundry sand has now found its potential as a pozzolan for green concrete.

Glass, a material that has been cherished for its clarity and durability for thousands of years, is also one of the most recyclable materials on the planet. In an ideal world, glass could be endlessly recycled without any loss in quality. However, in the United States, the glass recycling system is far from perfect.

For millennia, the enduring properties of concrete have shaped civilizations. The great structures of ancient Rome, Mayan Mexico, and Egypt stand testament to concrete’s unyielding strength. Despite this historical legacy, there’s an imperative need for evolution in today’s cement industry.
