Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials

Discover a practical roadmap for turning waste streams into high-performance, low-carbon building materials in Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials by Lei Wang. This timely guide captures the urgency of decarbonizing construction while offering real-world solutions that engineers, architects, and sustainability leaders can apply today.

Begin with clear explanations of waste valorization pathways—industrial by-Books, construction and demolition debris, and agricultural residues—and the material science behind alkali-activated binders, recycled aggregates, and geopolymer technologies. Lei Wang combines rigorous analysis with accessible prose, linking laboratory methods to on-site practices and scalable production.

Readers will appreciate in-depth chapters on lifecycle assessment, carbon accounting, cost-benefit comparisons, and regulatory frameworks that matter across regions—from rapidly urbanizing Asian cities to retrofit projects in Europe and North America. Case studies highlight how municipalities and companies reduce embodied carbon, meet green-building standards, and build resilient infrastructure using circular-economy principles.

Whether you’re a civil engineer seeking performance data, a materials scientist exploring sustainable formulations, or a policymaker crafting incentives, this book equips you with technical insights and implementation strategies. Practical tables, design considerations, and policy guidance make it a valuable reference for professionals and graduate students alike.

Make sustainability a structural advantage. Add Wastes to Low-Carbon Construction Materials by Lei Wang to your library and start transforming waste into opportunity—lowering carbon footprints while delivering durable, cost-effective construction solutions worldwide.
