"Working together on sustainability on earth for people, animals and plants. A lifes’ dedication we can realise by turning an ideal into reality. Therefore we shall execute a lot of projects together." (Ch. F. Hendriks)

The successful "International RILEM Conference on the Use of Recycled Materials in Buildings and Structures", as well as the final report on RILEM Technical Committee 198-URM, show we are already good on our way from "ideal to reality". However, we shall have to maintain our joint efforts unabated. We cannot but explore all possibilities to stimulate recycling and to drain the primary resources as little as possible. Only then will we achieve the sustainability that is necessary for the continued existence of our planet, or to use the words of Charles Hendriks:

"Sustainability is not just a notion, it is an attitude to life which we have to extend to all fields. Herein lies rooted the purpose and the benefit of our joint work."
