Green concrete is produced in green batch plant!

Green concrete refers to concrete that has been designed to minimise the negative effects it has on the environment. Currently, concrete is responsible for approximately 5% of all the world’s carbon emissions.

Everything is going green, that’s now the trend of modern life. Concrete plants also benefit from this. Green batching plants are undoubtedly favorable choice in order to save material and energy. But how can we operate a green concrete batching plant?

It is not enough to just set the rules for concrete production, the concrete machinery and equipment manufacturers (batch plant, truckmixers, concrete pumps etc…) also need to take part in this trend and transform their production and products into green..

Green concrete batching plants, first of all, must comply with environmental protection requirements. Therefore companies manufacturing concrete batch plant should take all reasonable and practical measures to prevent or minimise environmental harm and nuisance.

There is also important duty for the readymix managers, responsible persons such as foremen and dispatchers as well as drivers and operators, for thinking and acting green in every process of concrete production and delivery.

Concrete is the main stay of construction industry. Concrete underpins the economic prosperity and continued growth. While concrete can be durable and sustainable, its production, if managed poorly, can damage environment and communities.

This eBook is for operating a green concrete batching plant.
Each section of this study addresses a separate aspect of the green concrete production process, from handling cement to batching and dealing with waste also delivery.

Readymix companies using this guidebook can be confident they are doing what is required to protect the environment and also prevent environmental incidents.
