Alexandria, VA – August 26, 2025
The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) has announced the winners of the 2025 NRMCA Environmental Excellence Awards. Now in its 30th year, the program offers NRMCA producer members national recognition for outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining sound environmental management practices in their operations. The program salutes companies that have not only met but surpassed governmental compliance requirements and demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through plant and staff investment.
Entries were reviewed by a panel of judges based on electronic images with a written narrative covering ten evaluation criteria including site aesthetics, environmental documentation, training, water management, air quality management, returned concrete plan, community relations, concrete delivery, and plant sustainability practices. This year’s program provides awards in two categories based on geographic regions in which the plant is located (Eastern and Western). Eligible plants include NRMCA producer members. The Environmental Excellence Awards program is co-sponsored by Concrete Products magazine.
“The NRMCA Environmental Excellence Awards Program highlights ready mixed concrete plants that have demonstrated they are the “best of the best” when it comes to being good stewards of the environment. These winning entries clearly demonstrate the successful incorporation of environmental management systems into their operations,” said Kevin Walgenbach, NRMCA Executive Vice President of Operations and Compliance.
