Abstract Cement is an important building and construction material in civil engineering. When combined with water and aggregates, it has excellent adhesion characteristics. Cement consumption has increased in tandem with urbanization, industrialization, and infrastructure development. With a 5.1 percent annual growth rate. Because cement manufacture is such a large-scale operation, any possible environmental impact would be significant. As a result, it is critical to pay attention to the cement industry’s environmental effect, as it will undoubtedly play a vital role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Issues like these have been in the spotlight since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) and the accompanying Earth Summit in 1992, and legislation has been enacted to address them. Implementing a sustainable approach to manufacturing and engineering can help to safeguard the environment. The term ”sustainability” refers to the prevention of natural resource depletion to preserve ecological equilibrium. Sustainable engineering and manufacturing are characterized by the utilization of natural and renewable resources in product and process development to reduce and mitigate negative environmental effects. Sustainable construction may be tracked by economic, social, and environmental indicators. They’re also known as the ”three pillars” of environmentally friendly production. Economic/financial sustainability is the most essential factor for most manufacturers. In terms of business, nonprofitability will be devastating. Indices like raw material and labor costs are. |
