Rammed earth is often celebrated as a low-carbon method of constructing buildings, but some experts are beginning to cast doubt on its sustainability credentials. Amy Peacock reports. “People are using rammed earth to sell something that is essentially concrete,” said Rowland Keable, CEO of the charity Earth Building UK and Ireland and founder of Rammed

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have devised a way of cheaply producing low-carbon concrete at scale by making use of waste cement and the steel industry’s electric arc furnaces. The method developed by the engineers involves recycling old cement from demolished buildings by heating it up and reactivating the compounds within it. Key to
