Quick Crete Creates Recycled Concrete

Quick Crete Products has created Ecocast, a concrete product made from 70 percent post consumer and industrial waste. The Ecocast is a mix of recycled aggregates and other green construction materials such as pozzolans. The mix meets the standards to help builders achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design project points.

"We are absolutely committed to creating sustainable-building solutions for our customers, as well as for the environment," said Rick Crook, CEO of Quick Crete Products Corp.

Ecocast is a high quality Type 111 cement conforming to current ASTM standard specifications. The concrete produces an average compressive strength of 5000 P.S.I. in 28 days. Grade 60 rebar, rated at 80,900 P.S.I. tensile strength, reinforces each product.
