Abstract
The construction sector is facing new challenges in developing sustainable concepts and creating innovative technologies to sustain transition to climate neutrality. Concerns regarding the reduction of carbon footprint in cement and concrete industries have intensified over the last century and continue to be relevant as the world economy is growth and quality of life is increased. In this chapter, a literature review of recent studies is presented, highlighting the potential of using industrial by-product, agricultural residues, construction, and demolition recycle waste and natural pozzolans as partial replacement of cement or natural aggregate in the production of sustainable concrete.
