Our Green-Crete blocks and precast products look just like their solid concrete counterparts.
They are made using the same forms as our standard 3000 psi concrete blocks and precast products but contain recycled aggregates in place of some or all of the natural stone and/or sand.
Essentially, when we make Green-Crete, we remove the natural stone and/or sand and replace some or all of it with 100% recycled aggregates.
Often, the inclusion of recycled aggregates gives our blocks and other precast products special characteristics that are beneficial for a specific project. For example, our Plas-Crete blocks are 25% lighter than standard blocks - perfect for jobsites where only smaller installation equipment will fit. Our EPS-Crete blocks are also lightweight and have insulating characteristics!
We sell lots of blocks and precast products to private and municipal transfer stations and recycling drop-off centers. Doesn't it make sense for recycling facilities to use our recycled-content blocks for all their material storage bins?
The use of our recycled-content blocks and precast products will also help your project achieve a higher Environmental or LEED rating. More and more city and town planning committees are requiring sustainable building solutions during the permitting process!
