New Recycled Precast Concrete Formula Brings Relief to Sustainable Building Industry


Business Wire

In the constantly evolving building industry, there is more pressure than ever for builders to adhere to green-building standards and to qualify for The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System(TM) project points.

To easily make at least one aspect of a builder's project eco-friendly, Quick Crete Products Corp., a national leader in the precast concrete industry, has created EcocastĀ®, made from 70% post consumer and industrial waste.

The result of extensive research and development, EcocastĀ® is a mix of Recycled Aggregates and other green construction materials such as pozzolans, meeting the strict standards required to help builders achieve LEED project points.

"We are absolutely committed to creating sustainable-building solutions for our customers, as well as for the environment," said Rick Crook, CEO of Quick Crete Products Corp.
