Green Concrete...Who Cares? More People Than You Think.

Concrete is the most recycled material in the U.S. because of its weight. The CMRA(Construction Materials Recycling Association) says that "140 million tons of concrete are recycled each year in the U.S." WOW!
Most of the recycled concrete aggregates are being used on our highway system road ways already. Turns out, these aggregates are more durable and have superior compactness and constructibility.
CATANDIINC. is a concrete cutting business located in Winter Garden, FL serving residential and commercial customers since 1991. They are incorporating a greener environment in their everyday business operations by opening an in-house recycling facility.

By improving the environmental performance of our company, we can help ensure a clean and healthy environment for our children. We are recycling concrete from demolition projects resulting in considerable savings, since it saves the costs of transporting concrete to the landfill and eliminates the cost of disposal fees. More disposal sites are opening up and contractors are incorporating recycling into their operations which reduces landfill waste streams.
Our first step towards recycling was a simple one, see how many places we could eliminate paper. Technology, isn't it great? All of our data is now stored electronically. About time you may say, but by taking small steps when trying to go green, can make a big difference in the long run, also as to remaining a profitable business.

The recycled concrete aggregates compact well and are lighter weight per unit of volume. This results in reduced material costs. It's a win-win situation for all.
The recycling of concrete is a fairly easy process. It involves breaking the concrete down, removing debris and contaminants, and crushing the concrete. This material is crushed to a specified size and quality and I do not think there are any restrictions on the types of concrete pavements that can be recycled.
