RMC Foundation Releases Sustainable Concrete Plant Guidelines

(Silver Spring, Maryland) -- The RMC Research & Education Foundation is proud to announce the release of a new tool for the concrete industry: Sustainable Concrete Plant Guidelines. The Guidelines were developed by West Main Consultants and William C. Twitty, Jr., with guidance from Lionel Lemay, senior vice president - sustainable construction, with the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association.

“Concrete by its very nature is a very sustainable material. These Guidelines are a great tool for producers to identify ways to enhance their manufacturing processes to make concrete even more sustainable,” said James Repman, Foundation Chairman. Repman also noted “These Guidelines complement the other environmental and sustainability initiatives already established within the industry and allow producers to augment those efforts.” Foundation Executive Director Julie Garbini agreed, adding “This document gives producers performance-based metrics by which to measure and demonstrate the sustainability of their operations. It provides specific guidance on how to assess energy and resource consumption for continuous improvement. We are proud to add this new deliverable to the many other sustainable development-related research studies, reports and tools available from the Foundation.”
