- The paper develops sustainable alkali-activated binders from construction and demolition waste, addressing major environmental challenges. It is an international collaboration between Bradford and two Turkish universities, funded by the British council and TUBITAK. Although the binder is globally applicable, its initial contribution is focused on sustainable development of Turkey where almost 1/3 of building stocks will be demolished. The successful production of alkali-activated binders will also reduce the production of Portland cement that is responsible for 5-8% of total human-driven CO2 emissions, thus, contributing to deceleration of the pace of global warming. The project won the Newton prize 2020-Turkey (https://www.newton-gcrf.org/impact/news/newton-prize-2020-winners-announced/).
