Green alternative to cement trialled by UK’s Anglian Water

Anglian Water is reportedly trialling a new green alternative to cement. Cemfree is made from an iron industry by-product and said to lower the carbon content of concrete. Anglian Water said concrete is a crucial building material used in its infrastructure projects. Cemfree is said to lower the carbon content of concrete from 913kg/tonne to 107kg when compared with traditional cement. The major water company has vowed to reduce the carbon content in the building materials it uses by 60% by 2030.
