"Is Concrete Unsustainable?" - Kevin Yuers, VP at Kryton International Inc.

Is Concrete Unstainable?"

In a blog post on March 28 2011 Kryton vice president Kevine Yuers tackled a difficult question: Is concrete unsustainable?

Concrete has recently come under fire from certain environmental groups for greenhouse gas emmissions that have been wrongfully attribute to concrete. In fact, as Yuers points out, it is in fact the production of cement that causes greenhouse gas emission - and cement is merely a small part of concrete.

Furthermore, many cement producers have adopted alternative means of cement production that focus on alternative sources of energy, and waste reducation.

Another important point: from a sustainability standpoint, concrete in fact stacks up extremely well with other building materials, including wood.
