Due to its mechanical properties, concrete is not an easily replaceable material in construction. It is resistant to water and extreme weather conditions, non-combustible and durable. It is also widely available. The natural resources needed to produce it are available locally, which also reduces the potential environmental impact of transporting it to the construction site. Concrete is the backbone of sustainable construction as it is 100% recyclable and has a low environmental impact.
