Specifying Sustainable Concrete: Cements

This publication is intended to assist designers and engineers to optimise the sustainability credentials of concrete through specification. It focuses on a key constituent of concrete: cement, explaining typical cements used to produce concrete. Download now.

CQ Autumn issue out now

In the latest issue of CQ, Jestico + Whiles rethinks space at the future proof Cavendish Laboratory, we look at how Keith Williams and DRDH wrote libraries back into the heart of urban life as well as asking could 3D-printed soluble formwork hold the key to more efficient slabs? Read more

Sustainability Series 2025

The Concrete Centre’s Sustainability Series is an annual four-week programme of online events and resources offering the latest guidance, progress updates and expert discussions on the design, specification and use of sustainable concrete. Catch up now

On-demand webinar hub

Never miss an event again!

Containing over 50 recordings of previous live events such as technical webinars, seminars, Concrete Futures Lectures and the Sustainability Series.

About us

The Concrete Centre provides material, design and construction guidance. Our aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete and masonry to realise the potential of these materials.

The Concrete Centre, part of the MPA

The Mineral Products Association is the trade association for the aggregates, asphalt, cement, concrete, dimension stone, lime, mortar and industrial sand industries.
