Abstract: Concrete production has a lot of environmental impacts causing damage to the most fertile layer of the earth. Cement industry often uses unethical methods in obtaining resources by breaking river stones from the most alluring areas of the world for the production of cement concrete. Due to various environmental hazards associated with cement concrete production industries, most of the government re-forces and subsides the use of cement and also encourages to find a sustainable replacement material for the manufacture of cement concrete.
