Glass fiber reinforced concrete abbreviated as GRC is a concrete made of glass fibers. GRC is made of 95% recycled materials. The construction industry produces large amounts of waste during building and demolishing structures. This waste is used to produce GRC, which is a great concrete for exteriors of a building. High strength glass fiber is mixed in the concrete matrix to create GRC. Though both are mixed, both the components retain their original identities.
