Sustainable Concrete Plant Guidelines - Pilot Program

NRMCA is currently developing a Sustainable Concrete Plant Rating System through the generous support of the RMC Research & Education Foundation. The Sustainable Concrete Plant Rating System is a critical component of the NRMCA Sustainability Initiatives. An important step in developing the Rating System is to develop a set of Guidelines to establish what constitutes a sustainable concrete plant. The purpose of the Sustainable Concrete Plant Guidelines is twofold: first, the Guidelines provide detailed guidance on how ready mixed concrete plants can meet the performance goals outlined in the NRMCA Sustainability Initiatives; and second, the Guidelines provide the ready mixed concrete industry a methodology for defining what constitutes sustainable plant operations. The Guidelines therefore give ready mixed concrete plants the ability to quantify, assess, and improve the sustainability of their operations over time. The Guidelines are currently in the Pilot Program phase.
