Wherever you are reading this, the chances are that cement – in the form of a building, a road, or a sidewalk – is not far away. Still, very few of us are aware of cement's massive environmental impact – and even fewer know that solutions exist to minimise it.

But until it is fully rolled out with a wider scope to mitigate the most carbon-intensive emissions faster, the environment will pay the real price for polluting products.
