Concrete recycling is a common practice in Alberta. Several of our Members offer concrete disposal or purchase of recycled material. Recycling or reusing concrete can be used on commercial, industrial or residential applications and can greatly reduce environmental impact.
Concrete already lasts decades longer then other building materials. However, if demolition is required, concrete can be recycled and reused on several applications further extending its sustainability.
Less Waste
Concrete that is recycled or reused stays out of landfills reducing the amount of non-biodegradable construction waste and stress on landfill resources.
Environmentally Friendly
Requires less energy to produce than extracting and crushing natural material.
Recycled concrete can be combined with other environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled tires and glass.
Reduces Emissions
Using recycled concrete reduces the transport of resources to produce new concrete and the transport of new concrete to site cutting back on harmful emissions.
Low Carbon
Concrete boasts a low carbon footprint over its lifecycle and has no off-gassing.
Sustainable
Recycled concrete recovers raw materials in reusable quality reducing natural resource consumption.
Cost Effective
Recycled concrete is less expensive than new material and cuts back on the the construction process saving time, resources and building costs.
Saves Resources
Concrete can be recycled and used on the same site it's being removed from.
Creates Jobs
Recycling concrete requires manpower and thus, can create more jobs to stimulate the economy and industry.
Versatile
Concrete aggregate can be used for a variety of applications including landscaping, sub-base materials for parking lots & driveways, foundations, sidewalks & walkways, repairing roadways, home improvement projects and so much more!
