Production Details
Recycled Aggregate
Recycled concrete aggregate is crushed and processed material recovered from construction and demolition (C&D) and excavation waste, including concrete and masonry. It is characterized by its rough texture, variable composition, and sufficient strength for use in subbase and backfill applications. The material undergoes screening and quality control to ensure suitability for reuse, contributing to environmental sustainability by reducing landfill waste.
