The Slag Cement Association (SCA) and NEx, an ACI Center of Excellence for Nonmetallic Building Materials, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Oct. 30 at the ACI Concrete Convention in Boston, Mass.

The MOU sets forth the terms and understanding between the SCA and NEx to use their individual and collective resources and expertise to develop the knowledge needed to use nonmetallic materials in the built environment effectively.

Under the MOU, SCA will share its technical and educational resources on the utilization of slag cement to increase the sustainability and durability of concrete structures. NEx will facilitate the development and adoption of design and construction codes to foster better practices and material selection, with a focus on carbon reduction.

"As an allied partner, the Slag Cement Association is able to collaborate with NEx on the reduction of carbon emissions in our industry," said SCA Marketing Director Nick Brimley. "We look forward to NEx being able to utilize our many resources, such as SCA's case studies, educational webinars and Life Cycle Assessment Calculator."

The collaboration between SCA and NEx holds great promise in furthering carbon reduction in the industry. By combining their expertise, resources and networks, they are committed to driving significant progress in enhancing the durability, resiliency and sustainability of concrete, the association said.
