Part 1: Greater and alternative uses of limestone
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 first of a two-part event considering these changes, and it focuses on greater and alternative uses of limestone which have recently been included in the revised BS 8500 standard.
