Green Concrete Mix
QUIKRETE Green Concrete Mix consists of a blended concrete mix containing 50 percent recycled materials, which include recycled aggregates, fly ash (a post-industrial by-product) and/or slag cements. With the use of recycled materials, QUIKRETE Green Concrete Mix diverts material from the waste stream and preserves virgin aggregate resources. As an example, for each 60-pound bag of material, there is 0.25 cubic feet of waste diverted from the landfill volume. Suitable for general concrete work, QUIKRETE Green Concrete Mix offers a similar set-time and strength characteristics as standard QUIKRETE Concrete Mix.
