Concrete Industry Joint Sustainability Initiative

1. Concrete Industry Joint Sustainability Initiative By-Product Reductions

2. The Joint Sustainability Initiative (JSI) is a multi-association effort of the Concrete Structures Industrysupply chain to take unified and integrated action on Sustainable Development

3. JSI members have signed a joint agreement committing to act on 9 Declarations. Declaration #4 addresses 8 Social Values of Concrete Structures http://www.concretejsi.com/about/declaration.HTM

4. Declaration #4: “Our integrated thinking will focus on the following Social Values provided by Concrete Structures”: 1. Resource efficiency 5. Longevity/durability 2. Safety/protection 6. By-product reduction 3. Financial responsibility 7. Aesthetics 4. Operational continuity 8. Societal connectivity

5. This presentation discusses Social Value #6:By-Product Reductions

6. By-product ReductionsWhat it Means Reduce Reuse Recycle

7. By-product Reductions Benefits • Virgin material savings • Embodied energy reduction • Emission reductions • Performance enhancement • Reduction of land-filled waste • Cost reductions

8. Big Industry Footprint After water, concrete is most widely used material in the world 2x more than plastic, steel, aluminum, and wood, combined CO2 from cement mfg: U.S. < 1.5%

9. How Big Are We? U.S. EPA, “Quantifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Key Industrial Sectors in the United States, 2008 report

12. Where does the CO2 come from? Combustion & Grinding 35 – 40% Calcining 60 - 65%

13. Manufacturing Improvement Energy Savings 2.3 million homes / year

14. Manufacturing Improvements Alternative Materials 45%of plants

15. Manufacturing Improvements Alternate Fuel Usage 65%of plants

16. Alternate Fuels 58 million

17. U.S. Cement Manufacturing Improvement Goals By 2020* • Reduce carbon dioxide - 10% • Reduce energy use – 20% • Reduce cement kiln dust – 60% • Implement EMS at plants - 75% (* from a 1990 benchmark for a unit of production) www.cement.org/smreport08

18. U.S. Ready Mixed Concrete Production Goals • By 2020 • Embodied energy: 20% reduction • Carbon footprint: 20% reduction • Potable water: 10% reduction • Waste: 30% reduction • Recycled content: 200% increase

24. New Developments Wind turbines at California Portland Cement New cement formulations Alternative energy research “Smog eating” concrete

25. Why it’s important to next Generations • Extends the use of finite material resources, energy, and land • Reduces emissions and landfill waste • Supports all 3 aspects of the Triple Bottom Line
