About CCE2025



The international conference of Concrete and Circular Economy (CCE) is scheduled in terms of natural resources sustainable management and environment preservation as the world is leading a massive transition to circular economy by reusing/valorising the millions of tons of concrete wastes resulting from the buildings and infrastructure demolition and precast concrete industry.
