smc The concrete industry must take an active role in sustainability. The key is to find a common approach to concrete's role in green building.

The concrete industry can be loosely defined by the more than 35 individual non-profit organizations in the United States alone that make up the Concrete and Masonry-Related Associations (CAMRA). CAMRA's members represent diverse market segments ranging from materials such as cement, flyash and slag to concrete products, including ready mix, precast, masonry and pipe. The diverse nature and interests of a fragmented concrete industry do not permit the industry to easily address its role in sustainability in a uniform and proactive manner.
