 Sustainable Development and use of aggregates in Bangladesh

It is widely recognized that there is a limit on the availability of natural minerals used for
producing aggregates. In the long term, rapid depletion of this resource may contravene
the principles of sustainable development, which require the needs of the present to be
met without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own
needs. Solution to this problem are sought through research on recycling of concrete to
produce aggregates for use in new construction.
