The cement and concrete industry is a key link in the circular
economy. Alternative fuels/raw materials in cement kilns, utilising
recycled aggregates and cementitious industrial by-products in
concrete and producing durable concrete structures assist in the
circular economy. Example of fly ash production is shown in Figure
1. Discuss the use of any THREE new binders, waste materials and
recycled materials (as ingredients) in concrete production and
their suitable applications. Produce a ‘white paper’ (not more than
5 pages) and it should include the following:
(i) Identified 3 ingredients and a brief description of their production.
(ii) How these materials are used to produce certain grades of concrete.
(iii) Energy savings and carbon dioxide emissions of all ingredients.
(iv) Link with circular economy.

Between 2009 and 2050, as the world population is expected to increase by 2.3 billion, urban populations are projected to grow by 2.9 billion – from 3.4 to 6.3 billion (UNDESA, 2009). Urban areas are therefore expected to absorb all of the world’s population growth over the next four decades, while also drawing in some of the rural population. Furthermore, most of the urban population growth will be concentrated in the cities and towns of less developed regions that already face enormous backlogs in shelter, infrastructure, and services, as well as insufficient drinking water supply, deteriorating sanitation, and increasing environmental pollution. What would you say are the most important factors of water resources sustainability that must be studied to handle this urban growth, particularly in less developed regions? Please justify your answers in detail.
