Concrete is naturally an environmentally friendly product, but there are further ways that we can lessen our environmental impact and create a more sustainable concrete mix.

There are two ways to do this:

1. Replace a portion of our cement (the most energy consuming ingredient in concrete) with post-industrial materials
2. Replace a portion of our aggregate (a mined natural material) with post-consumer recycled materials

By purchasing our materials locally and incorporating post-industrial and recycled content into our concrete mix, Concrete Revolution can help contribute up to 1 point for LEED certified projects!

Hand-Formed Concrete w/ GFRC Technology

We automatically replace 25% of the cement in our mix design of Hand-Formed Concrete projects with post-industrial VCAS. This results in a significant amount of energy being saved and a reduction in CO2 emissions, making this substitution eligible for LEED points!

Poured Concrete

You may choose to incorporate any of the following recycled content substitutes (with an additional charge) in your Poured Concrete project to obtain LEED points.

• Cement Substitutes
  1. Fly Ash (a by-product of the coal industry): Up to 30%
  2. VCAS (a by-product of glass fiber manufacturing): Up to 30%
• Aggregate Substitutes
  1. Recycled Glass: Up to 30%

Crushed Glass	Fly Ash

All colors for LEED projects with the Poured Concrete method will be considered custom with a standard $600 custom color charge to test the mix design. For projects using VCAS, additional charges TBD after square footage of project is finalized.

LEED Points (up to 1 point for certified projects)

25% Recycled Content in Countertops	0.5 points
Locally purchased and Manufactured Materials	0.5 points

Remember, you do not have to be involved with a LEED certified project to have us incorporate these substitutes into your custom mix - we can do this for any project - just let us know what you have in mind!
