CONSTRUCTION, CEMENT, AND CLIMATE CHANGE

With global population growth accelerating urban expansion, construction activity has reached unprecedented levels while construction waste accumulates in landfills. Ordinary Portland Cement remains the most effective and commonly used soil solidifier despite contributing substantially to global carbon emissions. A sustainable alternative is a high-performance geopolymer-based soil solidifier developed from Siding Cut Powder, a construction waste byproduct, and Earth Silica, sourced from recycled glass. This breakthrough innovation offers an alternative to reducing cement dependence while transforming construction waste into valuable construction resources.
