This Concrete is the Key building material innovated and upgraded daily basis. Today we consume concrete as the highest material next to the water in terms of volume. The rapid growth of Modernised Urbanisation keeps the demand very high always. No Construction can move forward without modern concrete. Concrete has blended into our daily life. The darker side is the toxic impact it creates on the surroundings. Every ton of cement produced liberates an equal amount of Co2 back into the atmosphere. In terms of percentage, it is about 20 percent of overall carbon dioxide emissions. The global rise in temperature increasing the sea level make the earth a tough place to live. It also causes diseases to human fertility etc. To reduce the negative impacts, we need to move towards sustainable development. The minor contribution of reduction from construction industries can result in a significant reduction overall. The combination of today’s supplementary cementitious materials with triple blend binder (Composite Cement) makes us an Eco-friendly, durable, and cost-effective concrete. The triple blend binders standardize the concrete performance, easing the application of multiple blended concrete. Adding confidence among the engineers, Structural consultants, and end users makes it a fool proof system. The real challenge is the knowledge transfer of the multi-blended concrete. The myth of making multiple blended concrete fixed. The overall acceptance after the innovative invention of supplementary cementitious materials. Both fresh concrete and hardened concrete properties uplifted to a great level. Today effective utilization is achieved by easing through the stand products. The trend moved toward the performance and durability of structures by increasing the SCM percentage from 15% to 40%. The ideal range of blending is about 40%. The Ultrafine SCM (Icrete) enables and uplifts the performance of Multi blend binder much better than Ordinary Portland cement performance. This experimental study helps to have a clear understanding. Finally, the concrete was studied using the multi-blend binder and Icrete.  The standard single component Multi blend binder makes us easier to use.  The Multi blend binder improves the fresh concrete and hardened concrete properties.  The multi-blend binder with Icrete makes the concrete suitable for all major applications.
