Emissions saved switching using recycled aggregate vs virgin: 

Cut Carbon Emissions in Half: The Power of Switching to Recycled Aggregate Over Virgin Materials”

Incorporating recycled concrete and aggregate into construction projects offers significant environmental benefits, particularly in terms of carbon emissions and transportation efficiency. Recycled concrete, for instance, has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to using traditional virgin aggregates, as recycling avoids the energy-intensive extraction and production of new materials. Additionally, incorporating recycled concrete helps to preserve natural resources like sand and grave

Sustainable Facility Practices

• Green Approach
  • At New York Recycling, we are committed to a near zero-waste approach, diverting as much construction debris from landfills as possible by recycling it into high-quality aggregates for future use, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce environmental impact.
  • We minimize waste by turning discarded concrete, rock and dirt into 5 reusable products, ¾” RCA, 1.5”-3” RCA, DOT Blend, Item 4 Contractors Blend and Screen fill. These repurposed materials become a core ingredient in future building projects throughout New York City.
