Biodiversity The UK concrete industry makes a significant contribution to biodiversity and the natural environment. This Compass aims to help navigate towards the range of related resources and guidance.
Carbon data for project LCA How concrete can deliver energy efficiency through low embodied and operational energy and carbon for housing and structural frames.
Climate change resilience Climate change resilience is the ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from the impacts of climate change while minimising damage to the environment, economy and society. This compass helps to navigate to the evolving range of related resources produced by and in collaboration with The Concrete Centre.
Health and wellbeing How concrete can deliver energy efficiency through low embodied and operational energy and carbon for housing and structural frames.
Energy efficient buildings How concrete can deliver energy efficiency through low embodied and operational energy and carbon for housing and structural frames.
Eurocode 2 While Eurocode 2 is currently in the process of undergoing change and development current guidance for how to design structures using Eurocode 2 is readily available, in the form of published documents (available in hard and soft copies), webinars and software.
Housing How concrete can deliver energy efficiency through low embodied and operational energy and carbon for housing and structural frames.
Low carbon concrete How concrete can be specified to have lower embodied carbon and provide the lowest whole life carbon solutions, now and in the future.
Market benchmarking LCCG Market Benchmark is based on data from the MPA covering around 50% of the ready-mixed concrete produced in the UK in 2024 and supplemented by data from contractors and consultants.
Material efficiency How concrete production itself uses waste derived from other industries, as well as how the material can be made more efficient, through design.
Circular economy How concrete production itself uses waste derived from other industries, as well as how the material can be made more efficient, through design.
Offsite concrete construction The use of precast concrete elements is a well-established construction method. Concrete offsite solutions range from whole building and structural systems, to precast construction components, offering numerous benefits during construction and over the whole life of a building.
