The concrete manufacturing industry is distinct for its blending of the past and the future – tradition and innovation. County Materials is a leader in this growing industry and works hard to meet the modern needs of our local communities. As the conversation around sustainability evolves and construction professionals increasingly value environmentally-conscious materials, we are proud to continue leading our industry.
Sustainability through Lasting Performance
Communities rely on their infrastructure, commercial structures, and homes to last. When specified for these applications, concrete provides durability and lasting performance, ensuring its service for generations. We are committed to quality and collaborate with project leaders on designs that accommodate growth and meet community needs. County Materials manufactures every product to serve our customers long after installation.
Concrete withstands high humidity, precipitation, ultraviolet radiation, freeze/thaw cycles, abrasion, and more without compromising desired engineering properties. Concrete's durability helps reduce the need for repair and replacement of infrastructure, reducing waste and conserving natural resources.
Sustainability through Post-Service Life Repurposing
Not only does concrete present sustainability advantages during its extended service life; it can also be recycled after use. Popular uses for recycled concrete include driveways, landscaping, road bases, and new concrete products.
Recycling concrete reduces waste and conserves natural resources. Materials that would otherwise be sent to landfills are given new life, reducing both the need to extract new raw materials and the environmental impact of waste sites. According to Science Focus, recycling one ton of concrete can save over 1,600 gallons of water and 900 kg of CO2.
County Materials supplies concrete products that build long-lasting communities. This Earth Day, we restate our commitment to sustainability and take pride in the innovation of our industry as we continue to offer new solutions in the ever-changing worlds of manufacturing and construction.
Together, we’re building a company that hardworking people are proud to work for, live near, and do business with since 1946.
