Use of oyster shell (Crassostrea gigas) as aggregate replacement for producing environmentally-friendly concrete
Due to the depletion of resources, by-products claim attention to be reused or reincorporated in other materials. Cementitious materials are on the top of the list of the most consumed materials which traditionally leads to a high demand for raw materials. In the actual context of net zero emissions...

Due to the depletion of resources, by-products claim attention to be reused or reincorporated in other materials. Cementitious materials are on the top of the list of the most consumed materials which traditionally leads to a high demand for raw materials.

Based on this, bio-based materials have been attracting attention to be incorporated into building materials, improving materials properties and providing lower environmental burdens.
