Polymer Concrete
After water, concrete is the most widely used substance on the planet
It’s also been called ‘one of the most destructive materials on earth’. If the cement industry was a country it would be the third largest carbon emitter in the world
Estimated to be responsible for 4 - 8% of the world’s CO2; other impacts include acid rain and the pollution and depletion of drinking water
The global market for polymer concrete is estimated to be over $700m, growing at 8% CAGR
