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.
How to Participate in the
Pilot Program
NRMCA members are invited to
participate in the Pilot Program to help finalize the Guidelines. The Pilot
Program will be conducted from May 1-July 31. Once the pilot program is
completed, the guidelines will be updated to reflect the experience gained
during the pilot phase. The full program will begin in fall of 2010. Anyone
interested in participating in the pilot program should contact Lionel Lemay of
NRMCA,
LLemay@nrmca.org,
847-918-7101.
