The TU Delft team is working on a sustainable type of concrete made from waste products: geopolymer concrete. Subscribe to our channel here: https://www.youtube.com/c/tudelfttv?s... The production of concrete has a large impact on our environment: it is the second largest producer of CO2, and is responsible for emitting up to 5% of global CO2 emissions, contributing to climate change. This is not the only problem we're facing in our modern world: the waste production in many other industries is growing, and means our landfills are quickly filling up and valuable resources get lost. At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the geopolymer team is researching a type of concrete that uses waste and by products instead of cement as a raw material. This material is called geopolymer concrete, and is made by mixing different industrial byproducts. The hardened concrete has comparable or even better properties than traditional concrete. Already the theory has been put into practice: a geoconcrete canoe has been built, a cantilevered bench, and a bridge is up next. The role of waste is thus rethought and industrial byproducts can be given a new life, reducing CO2 emissions and making landfills smaller. Geopolymer concrete might just be the building material of the future. Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences. Interested in the material and want to seen another cool project?
