Sustainable Concrete: Building for the Future
Presented by Science for Georgia, Synthetic Aggregate Association
Learn about the future of sustainable construction! Synthetic Aggregate Association is partnering with Science for Georgia to host an exciting, hands-on event focused on sustainable construction practices. We will be at a new PATH 400 location where they are making large planters and public gardens! Learn how hard-to-recycle waste materials can be transformed into concrete, helping reduce the environmental impact of construction.
We’ll demonstrate how to incorporate 44% recycled content into concrete, significantly lowering its embodied carbon, decreasing weight, and increasing insulation. Plus, you'll have the unique opportunity to mix your own concrete and create fun, eco-friendly concrete turtles, and help build a public garden!
