Dans la dernière décennie, l'industrie du ciment a réalisé d'importants progrès vers une réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. Une de ces innovations tient de l'utilisation de sous-produits industriels (communément appelés [...] matériaux cimentaires supplémentaires) dans la fabrication du ciment. Le béton qui en résulte est connu sous le nom de béton ternaire ou béton à contenu recyclé. 5, record 1, French, - ajout%20cimentaire
