RCA in Patch Mixes

RCA is going into ready-mixed patch materials, too, being part of the 50-percent recycled material content of Quickcrete Green Concrete Mix. The material’s recycled content also includes fly ash or slag cements, or both, the company reports.

Green Concrete Mix diverts material from the waste stream and preserves virgin aggregate resources. As an example, for each 60-lb. bag of the material, there is 0.25 cubic feet of waste diverted from the landfill volume. After an initial launch of the product in the Seattle, Portland, Ore., and northern California markets, Green Concrete Mix is now available in the Denver, Columbus, Salt Lake City and New England markets.v
