12. Case Study 5 : Hydration Control Agents 4/28/2015 GREEN ENDURING CONCRETE_CMIC 2012_MELBOURNE The disposal of returned plastic concrete and concrete washwater is an environmental challenge for concrete producers. It is estimated that approximately 2 to 10 % of all concrete produced is returned for disposal potentially creating unnecessary landfill waste. With HCAs, producers can control cement hydration to better manage returned plastic concrete and also reduce concrete washwater.
