What do you do with leftover concrete? Hagen Beton turns it into a sellable product

Do you deal with leftover concrete on a daily basis? Chances are you currently process it into concrete aggregate. That costs storage space, time and, above all, money. And yet there is another way: with our high-quality concrete block molds, you can turn your leftover concrete into sellable concrete blocks of premium quality. Hagen Beton in Weesp is already doing it. In this blog, we explain how you can get started too.

Which concrete block mold is best for processing leftover concrete?

At Betonblock®, we supply molds in a variety of sizes. Hagen chose our popular 160 x 80 x 80 centimeter concrete block mold, but there are many more options available. The best choice for you depends on your residual stream, available space and the applications you have in mind. For example, do you only have a very small amount of leftover concrete each day? Then our smallest concrete mold of 40 x 20 x 20 centimeters is an excellent choice.

Why process your leftover concrete into new concrete blocks?

If you have excess concrete mix, it doesn’t have to go to waste. Use our molds to turn it into new concrete blocks and experience the benefits for yourself:

  1. Waste less concrete mix.
  2. Produce high-quality concrete blocks that you can use or sell directly.
  3. Save on processing and storage costs for aggregate.
  4. Choose a sustainable alternative to aggregate production.
  5. Produce concrete blocks with consistent, certified quality.

From waste to value: producing new concrete blocks from leftover concrete

Hagen has been active in the construction sector since 1899. What once started as shipping sand and gravel has since grown into a modern transport and concrete production company, led by the fourth generation: Ria and Robert Hagen. They took over the family business in 2009 and grew organically from 12 to 50 trucks, without external financing. Today, more than half of the fleet consists of concrete mixers supplying concrete to both large and small construction sites.

Yet for many years, leftover concrete was a problem. Every day, excess mix was dumped on-site and later crushed into aggregate. This meant full storage areas, additional transport and high processing costs. By investing in our concrete block molds, they changed this process. Hagen placed a large number of molds on their own site and fills them with leftover concrete at the end of the day. The blocks they produce this way are now sold as standard commercial products.

This is how you can profit from your leftover concrete in 4 steps

With minimal additional handling, you turn your remaining concrete mix into new, high-quality products:

  1. Collect the leftover concrete after production.
  2. Fill the mold on the same day.
  3. Allow the concrete to cure in the mold.
  4. Stack the blocks and sell them, or use them for your own projects.

Blocks for multiple applications

The concrete blocks Hagen now produces can be used for a wide range of purposes. Think of:

  1. Walls
  2. Buildings
  3. Storage bays
  4. Site layouts

Concrete blocks made with our molds are highly reliable for Hagen’s customers, because the concrete comes from a certified concrete plant and the blocks always have the same dimensions and high-quality finish. This is because the S355 structural steel we use to manufacture our molds is dimensionally stable, even with intensive daily use. For Hagen, processing leftover concrete is also a way to add value with minimal extra handling to what was previously a cost item.

Sustainable and practical working with Betonblock® molds

By processing leftover concrete directly into new products, Hagen saves on raw materials and transport. Aggregate production is largely eliminated and on-site storage space remains available. At the same time, an additional source of revenue is created.

Hagen shows that sustainability and profitability go hand in hand. The company is taking a step not only toward less waste, but also toward more efficient operations. That is why we at Betonblock® are proud of our collaboration with Hagen Beton.
