Its fundamentally not possible to replace NEW cement production with recycled cement without degrowth. The nice thing about degrowth -- and lets be very serious here: degrwoth IS happening in China, and many other demographically unbalanced socitieties wether you like it or not -- is that it enables a completely circular economy whereby most minerals and even things like cement can be 100% sourced from the existing materials with no need for additional raw inputs. That's what this paper is fundamentally about.
