This three-part webinar series, Toward Lower-Carbon Precast Concrete, will educate PCI producer members on sustainability principles and practical mix innovations that reduce embodied carbon while maintaining or improving performance.

The second webinar, Cementitious Materials for the Precast Industry –Where are We Headed Next?, will further advance on the topics discussed in part one, as well as review cement types and carbon intensities; innovations in blended cements, Portland-limestone cement (PLC), and future alternatives; Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), such as fly ash, slag, silica fume, and natural pozzolans; and case studies of carbon reduction with comparable performance.

By the end of this three-part webinar series, participants will be able to:

Differentiate between traditional cement and emerging low-carbon alternatives, including blended cements and PLC.
Identify commonly used SCMs and their environmental and performance characteristics in precast concrete applications.
Evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of substituting cementitious materials in terms of carbon reduction, availability, and technical performance.
Recognize how mix innovation with cement materials supports compliance with EPD and sustainability documentation requirements.
Apply insights from recent case studies to initiate or improve cementitious material strategies at their own precast concrete facilities.
