Project seeks to bolster urban construction waste recycling

The Climate Group is joining forces with one of China’s biggest concrete producers, the China Advanced Construction Materials Group (China ACM) to tackle one of the biggest side-effects of China’s rapid growth and urbanization: urban construction waste.
