Ordinary Portland Cement concrete contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions, second only to fossil fuels. This project will develop Geopolymer concrete prototype mixes with 100% recyclable materials, including binders such as fly ash and slag, and waste aggregates (plastic, glass and tyres) with fire-resilient properties.
