Sustainability is a key topic for the concrete industry, both in terms of reduced Global Warming Potential and in terms of circularity. Concrete made from recycled concrete aggregates – crushed concrete - instead of natural aggregates is gaining popularity. Secondly, new cements with significantly reduced CO2-emissions are developed to replace standard cement. We investigate how fastening solutions will perform in those materials, in order to consult our customers and further develop guidelines, codes, and approvals.​
