Foundation Releases Sustainable Development CD

The RMC Research & Education Foundation has announced the availability of a new CD, "Research in Support of Sustainable Development." The CD includes all of the foundation's published reports and studies on pervious concrete, the "Ready Mixed Concrete Industry LEED Reference Guide" and the "Crushed Returned Concrete as Aggregates for New Concrete" final report.

The CD was unveiled at the group's annual convention and the ConExpo-Con/Agg show in Las Vegas; more than 1,000 copies were distributed between the two venues.

"Few construction projects are planned today without consideration for how they may utilize materials and practices that make the project more sustainable," said RMC Research & Education Foundation Executive Director Julie Garbini. "Concrete provides many opportunities to help make projects more 'green,' and the foundation is proud to present this new CD of deliverables that demonstrate many of concrete's environmental benefits. Many of the reports included on this CD are available for download individually from the foundation's website [www.rmc-foundation.org]. However, combining them together on one CD unmistakably illuminates that concrete has a great deal to offer as a sustainable building material."

Copies of the CD are available by contacting Jennifer LeFevre at 240.485.1151 or by e-mail at [email protected].
