Innovative Formula Reduces Use of New Resources by 70%

In the constantly evolving building industry, there is more pressure than ever for builders to adhere to green-building standards and to qualify for The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System[TM] project points.

To easily make at least one aspect of a builder's project eco-friendly, Quick Crete Products Corp., a national leader in the precast concrete industry, has created Ecocast, made from 70% post consumer and industrial waste.

The result of extensive research and development, Ecocast is a mix of Recycled Aggregates and other green construction materials such as pozzolans, meeting the strict standards required to help builders achieve LEED 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.

Utilizing a high quality Type 111 cement conforming to current ASTM standard specifications, this formula 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.

Ecocast can be used in a vast array of projects from luxury hotel facades to perimeter security protection. Quick Crete's website, www.quickcrete.com, has a detailed description of the resource-saving mix and how it can benefit the environment.
