These days we’re ever aware of the need to be sustainable and ensure the products we create will last for many, if not hundreds, of years.

Wood might rot and catch fire easily so buildings made from this are few and far between. However, buildings constructed from concrete can sometimes have double the lifespan of other materials. They’ll withstand fire, flooding, and extreme weather events – something which the UK sees more of these days.

However, not all buildings are indeed constructed to last forever. In these situations, the concrete that was once a part of the building can often be reused and repurposed for other buildings or projects where otherwise it might have gone to waste. Old concrete can also be recycled as an additive for new mixtures, too.
