Abstract
Green concrete is a concept of thinking environment in concrete considering every aspect from row materials manufacture over mixture design to structural design. It has nothing to do with color. The use of various types of recycled waste materials as raw material in cement production is important recent developmental aspect in the field of cement and concrete science is, as well as the use of these materials as aggregate in the production of various types of concrete. Cement and concrete production can consume a substantial percentage of the total generated waste materials, which can alleviate the acute environmental impact of these materials and also partly help to achieve the much needed sustainability in cement and concrete production. The use of waste materials as aggregate in concrete can consume vast amounts of them taking into account the scale of concrete production all over the world as well as the percentage of aggregate in the overall concrete volume
