Urban Mining Industries (UMI)'s Pozzotive 250 is a limited-edition ground-glass pozzolan made from recycled glass collected from all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
UMI transforms post-consumer waste glass into a clean, ground-glass pozzolan that replaces a portion of cement in high-performance concrete, significantly reducing carbon emissions while improving durability. Their flagship product, Pozzotive, is already in use in hundreds of commercial applications including in the new JP Morgan headquarters in New York City. This new initiative highlights this important solution to two pressing national challenges: first, despite being fully recyclable, a substantial majority of U.S. glass still ends up in landfills; and second, the cement used to make concrete remains one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions.
To create Pozzotive 250, UMI is inviting friends, strategic partners, and organizations nationwide to contribute recycled glass symbolizing their local communities. Participants are documenting and shipping their glass contributions to UMI's processing facility in Beacon Falls, Connecticut, where the glass will be transformed into a high-performance supplementary cementitious material - Pozzotive 250. The result is more than a product — it is the circular economy in action.
Pozzotive 250 will be used in several upcoming concrete applications, contributing to stronger, longer-lasting roads, bridges, and buildings, dramatically reducing CO2 emissions while creating a more durable infrastructure for our country.
