Heartland Ready Mix is committed to the environment!

Concrete is better for the environment and is cost-effective:

  • Concrete is a natural, inert material. It is 100% recyclable and can be produced from recycled materials.
  • Concrete is manufactured using waste materials from power plants and steel mills.
  • Old tires are recycled as fuel in cement plants around the country to create Portland Cement. The ash from the tires is a key ingredient.
  • Portland Cement is mixed with water and other natural ingredients.
  • Concrete is a long lasting, durable building material that is energy efficient and has flexible uses.
  • Concrete has high thermal mass; it absorbs and releases heat effectively.
  • Pervious concrete (used for roadways, parking lots and driveways) is great for the environment because it allows water to percolate through it instead of becoming run-off.
  • Ready mix concrete is delivered fresh to you in energy efficient trucks.
