From innovation to implementation: Accelerating the use of low-carbon and circular concretes

From innovation to implementation: Accelerating the use of low-carbon and circular concretes

13 September 2026 8:30 am - 9:30 am Material-futures

The range of low-carbon and circular concrete solutions is growing rapidly  from novel binders and recycled aggregates to new design and specification approaches. Yet adoption on live projects often lags behind technical feasibility.

This session explores how developers, designers and contractors can bridge that gap and accelerate real-world delivery. Drawing on practical project experience, we will explore how guidance, carbon targets, collaborative risk-sharing and a strategic approach to innovation are helping to bring novel solutions into mainstream use.
