Several factors make ACC a green construction material, including its usage of fly ash as the silica-rich element in its composition, which accounts for nearly 60% to 65% of ACC structures by weight. Every year, the power generation industry produces several million tons of fly ash, only a fraction of it can be recycled. The production process of ACC is also highly energy-efficient and pollution free, making the cumulative burden of a new construction project using ACC slightly less taxing to the environment. ACC is also convenient to work with as it can ...
