Sustainability Series: The changing landscape of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs): Part 2

Date:Wednesday 02 October 2024
Time:13:30 - 14:45
CPD:1.5 hours
Price:Free

Part 2: Expanding the range: calcined clays, recycled fines and stock-piled fly ash

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are materials that may be used as part of the binder in concrete. SCMs can be lower in embodied carbon than Portland cement and are consequently an important part of the route towards net zero concrete.

The availability, use and standards related to SCMs is evolving.  This webinar is the second of a two-part event considering these changes, and it focuses on this expansion of the range of SCMs, including calcined clays, recycled fines and stock-piled fly ash.
