What to do with small amounts of leftover concrete?

Concrete is an incredibly versatile material used in almost every type of construction project. The challenge, however, is knowing exactly how much you will need in advance. As a result, small batches of wet concrete are often left over. Concrete plants sometimes struggle to find practical uses for this excess material, since it is rarely enough to create a large block. Too often, the leftover concrete goes to waste, which has a negative impact on both your budget and the environment. That is why at Betonblock® we now offer a solution for small batches of wet concrete: our small concrete block mould.

What are the advantages of using a small concrete block mould?

While just 1m³ of leftover concrete may not sound like much, it is enough to produce a range of useful products. Instead of treating this surplus as waste, it can be turned into either a block of 160x80x80 centimetres or even into several small blocks that serve a practical purpose on-site or can even be sold.

Repurposing surplus concrete:

  1. Reduces landfill waste
  2. Lowers the CO₂ emissions of your company
  3. Contributes to a more circular construction economy
  4. Produces a new product you can use or sell

This way, what may seem like a problem quickly becomes an opportunity.

Other practical applications for leftover concrete

Got leftover concrete but no use for smaller blocks? Not a problem. By using a divider, you can create half-size versions of standard blocks, which are ideal for temporary wall edges. By using moulds with formliners, leftover concrete can even be shaped into decorative blocks with textures that resemble stone or natural rock. These are particularly useful for small-scale or custom projects where appearance matters.

Leftover concrete can also be turned into practical solutions, including:

  1. Foundations for smaller structures
  2. Parking barriers and wheel stops
  3. End blocks for storage bays
  4. Small retaining walls

Cost benefits of repurposing leftover concrete

Every cubic metre of concrete saved from becoming waste reduces disposal costs and supports sustainability goals. By transforming leftover concrete into products, you avoid unnecessary waste fees and create items with genuine market value. It’s better for the planet, and it makes strong financial sense too.
