[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]The Concrete Initiative has published an article by Alessio Rimoldi, BIBM Secretary General, entitled “To what extent should authorities promote the use of recycled aggregates for concrete?” on a blog website. The article argues for policies that promote the efficient use of locally available materials for a desired purpose. Concrete is very easy to recycle and reuse. The use of secondary aggregates coming from construction and demolition waste shows huge economical and environmental benefits.
