What can you do with your leftover concrete?

With a growing emphasis on sustainability, the concrete industry is increasingly focusing on reusing leftover concrete. Efforts by companies, researchers, and policymakers are geared towards enhancing the recycling and repurposing of concrete, which not only helps in reducing environmental impact by decreasing landfill waste and conserving resources but also in cutting costs.

Processing leftover concrete, however, raises questions. What methods are involved, and what equipment is required? This blog covers all aspects related to leftover concrete.

Liquid concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water. By adding additional cement, sand, and water, new liquid concrete can be easily produced. This process reduces the necessity for new concrete production and minimizes waste, contributing to a more circular concrete market and diminishing the environmental impact of your company.

Concrete aggregate, which includes broken concrete debris from demolition and construction, shouldn't be discarded. It can serve as a raw material for new concrete. Mix this aggregate with cement, sand, gravel, and water to create a high-quality concrete mixture. Using concrete aggregate curtails the demand for natural resources and prevents waste production.

Adhering to sustainable practices involves processing all your leftover concrete into complete concrete products. This includes creating new concrete blocks from leftover concrete mix and concrete aggregate. Our moulds are specifically designed for this purpose. Constructed from stainless construction steel with a powder coating, our straightforward plan assists in creating new products from leftover concrete.

Historically, leftover concrete was often taken to landfills, incurring high costs. By processing your leftover concrete into new products, you save on these expenses and reduce the need for new raw materials.

Apart from saving money, processing leftover concrete also presents an opportunity to earn more. The new concrete blocks produced can be sold easily. They are complete concrete products, indistinguishable from others, transforming what was once waste into a valuable product.

Using our moulds ensures no concrete waste is left behind. This reduces emissions during the transportation of leftover concrete and recycles your leftover concrete into a strong, new product.
