Cement production is responsible for 5% of EU's total greenhouse gas emissions.
40% of cement and concrete purchasing happens through public procurement.
That means public procurement holds enormous potential to scale up cleaner alternatives. Here's how:
1️⃣ Mandate low-carbon concrete in public projects across the EU within a clearly defined timeframe
2️⃣ Ensure harmonisation and labelling efforts are targeted at concrete, not cement
3️⃣ Involve innovative producers in preliminary market consultations
