Circular strategies for concrete and cement

The transformation of the European cement and concrete sector towards a circular economy offers significant potential for reducing emissions, reducing raw material and energy consumption and strengthening the EU's strategic autonomy. The report "Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts of the Circular Economy Transition in the EU Cement and Concrete Sector" by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) shows how technical, normative and policy innovations must work together to successfully shape the circular transformation of this resource-intensive sector.
