window.google_render_ad(); Concrete is in its raw essence a very green material. It is hewn from rock and the earth, ground into a fine powder, mixed with a few other raw components, the most important being water, and then mixed and allowed to set, wherever it is needed.
In its raw state concrete powder is environmentally friendly, as it is of the environment itself – a natural component. Here it is known as cement, before it hardens and becomes like stone. But it is in the industrial extraction of the materials, the mixing, and of course the application of concrete that is ceases to be both biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
