Abstract

Conventional models of production in the cement and concrete industry (ICC) associate important environmental problems; on the other hand, there are emerging technologies that could reduce them. However, the multidimensional approach of the circular economy is required to guide sustainable development in a lasting manner, modeling the life cycle from design to final disposal to optimize the value-environmental impact relationship; since only a circular, resilient, and proactive industry can meet the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development (ONU) or the goal of zero emissions. This work presents general concepts of circular economy, as well as an analysis of alternatives and applicability in order to raise awareness among ICC actors in Latin America.
