Abstract

Today the world is living in the requirement of technological revolution 4, increased demands
for safe – keeping of nature and insurance of sustainable development. At the same time, we have a rapid increase in world population, which is expected to reach 10, 9 billion by 2050. Rapid population growth and urbanization will demand an adequate increase in building materials mainly concrete. It is estimated that the need for concrete by 2050 will drastically increase up to 16 – 18 billion tons per year. Concrete as a wide – spreаd building material can be considered sustainable if during its design and production fulfills all requirements of sustainable development. For this reason building industry, together with producers of building materials, is faced with the demand to adopt new
technology to guarantee sustainable production and development adequate for the needs of the branch, but bear in mind that СО2 emission must be near zero, as well as the use of energy. The use of mineral resources from the Globe imperatively must be economical. At the same time special attention construction.
This rеport deals with the statе of art and the future sustainable development of material science and its contribution to sustainable construction.
