  1. Ready Mix Concrete & Sustainability

  2. Stewardship • Meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations. • Concrete is a very Sustainable Material • Long Lasting, Local, Recyclable, small carbon footprint • Employees work hard to make and deliver concrete in a sustainable way • Material Sources • Source materials to minimize fuel and energy use in transportation • Barge, Rail, vs. trucking • Dispatching effectively • Alternative Fuels • Material Reduction, Material Use, Re-Use, Material Recycling • Concrete Plants can effectively be Zero Waste to Landfill operations

  3. Concrete is Very Sustainable • Concrete Lasts a long time • Concrete requires little maintenance • Concrete is 100% local • Concrete is 100% Recyclable • Concrete Can be made with Recycled Materials • Water • Aggregates • Supplementary Cementitious Materials • Concrete has a very small Carbon Footprint • Cement has a large Carbon footprint, but is only 10-13%

  4. Concrete Plants Operate Very Sustainably • Operate as Zero Waste to Landfill facilities • Equipment is Re-Used, Re-Purposed, then Recycled • Water is continuously Re-Used in plant operations • Ozinga Testing Recycled Water in Concrete with CDOT • Ozinga is leading the way for Recycled water use on IDOT projects • Returned Concrete is Re-Used as IDOT D Quality Base • Ozinga lead the push for this use on IDOT projects • Returned Concrete can be Re-Used as Aggregate • Testing w CDOT • Waste Recyclingprograms for shops, plants, & offices • Fuel and Energy Reduction Programs • Alternative Fuel Testing Programs • Bio Fuels extensively tested and used • Thirteen GNC Trucks added to the fleet • Minimal Idling Policy • State of the Art Dispatching Facility

  5. Recycled Aggregates These Don’t have to come from Here

  6. Transportation Modes BargeRailTruck Ton Miles/ Gal 514 miles 202 miles 59 miles Emmissions: Carbon + NOX 1.0 14.2 17.5 P M 1.0 12.0 12.0 CNG Truck: NOX 85% less than Diesel PM 90% less than Diesel Source: CNG Fuel: US & CAN 98% Diesel Fuel: Outside US 52% OPEC 33%

  7. CNG Trucks vs. Diesel Trucks Clean Air CNG - Fuel from USA Runs Quiet

  8. Industry Promotes Green Mixesto Owners and Designers • Reduce Cement Using SCM’s (Recycled Matl’s) • Over 150,000 tons of Cement/year • Over 150,000 tons of CO2 production avoided • Over 150,000 tons of Ash and Slag Diverted from Landfills • More Durable concrete lasts longer • High Albedo MixesReduce Urban Heat Island • Decorative Concrete Replaces less durable materials • FiltercreteTM Pervious Concrete Manages Stormwater • Infiltrates water, preventing flooding and pollution of waterways • Cleans stormwater, absorbs GHG from Air, Cools Air too • No drowning danger, no mosquitos, no geese, less maintenance than detention ponds • Ozinga offers e-Billing – reducing paper and postage

  9. Industry Promotes Green Mixesto Owners and Designers • Cement Reduction with SCMs: • Reduces CO2 Production in a 1:1 ratio • Reduces landfill waste • Produces higher quality concrete • Stronger, Denser, More Durable • Produces High Albedo concrete • Both Slag & Fly ash can produce High Albedo Concrete • Ternary mixes using both, also produce High Albedo Concrete • Impacts Strength Gain and Project Schedule • Coordination with project team is important to minimize impacts • Maximize use in targeted areas of project

  10. Industry Promotes Green Mixesto Owners and Designers • High SCM Content create High Albedo Mixes • High Albedo Mixes Reduce Urban Heat Island

  11. Industry Promotes Green Mixesto Owners and Designers • Decorative Concrete: • Safer, More durable, and lower maintenance than alternative products • Many Colored Concrete mixes can also achieve High Albedo to fight Urban Heat Island effect

  12. Industry Promotes Green Concreteto Owners and Designers Concrete Parking Lot Promotion: • REDUCES URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECTS • LOWER LIFE CYCLE COSTS • LOWER ENERGY COSTS • MORE DURABLE Frequent Presentations to: Architects, Engineers, General Public
