Green Beans
Sustainable soybean-based products are already used as protective coatings and curing agents, and some promising research suggests they may be effective for sealing pavement joints as well. When using greener products can improve concrete’s durability and extend its service life, it promotes truly sustainable construction.
Colored Pervious Concrete Fits the Bill
