What (or who) is preventing concrete from being more sustainable (i.e. environmentally friendly)?
On this week's episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, I sat down with Rich Szecsy from Alamo Concrete Products Company and he shared what he believes are the roadblocks standing in concrete's way from being more green. Listen to Rich and learn how we as an industry can promote more sustainable concrete construction practices to show the world that there is not a building material out there that is more environmentally friendly than concrete!
