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.

Resource efficiency is the core of readymix concrete business! Resource efficiency means using the earth’s limited resources in a sustainable manner while minimising environmental impact. Subject resources can be material, energy and other assets but also manpower or money.

In order to function effectively in all processes, the readymix concrete companies should use every resource efficiently. If you don’t have a resource efficient plant, you don’t have a competitive business. Therefore, resource efficiency strategy is a continious and priority issue in every ready-mixed concrete company.

For a readymix concrete manufacturing company, there is a direct link between ‘how the resource efficient and how effective use of this resources’. The question here is, are you working strategically and focused on optimising the flow and use of resources in your company? If the answer is ‘not’, this should be a top priority for you as of today.

If you want to make sure you are not wasting money on resources, you should have a firm strategy for that. It is all about optimising the flow and use of resources. In concrete production, resources mostly come from nature. And after you use them they all go back to nature. Just as in an ecosystem, in the big picture, in fact, many things cannot be turned into waste. The resources, raw material, energy, water and so on, it’s all part of what could be labeled as ‘cost of operations’ for any readymix business.

If you do not have experience and not know how to do it, but if you want to learn, in this ebook you will find an action plan that has been implemented and tested for resource efficiency in a readymix concrete company. The plan will take you from where you are today, to where you want get to a place where you have a more resource efficient, more profitable business that also leaves the world a better place. This plan is included with several measurable, realistic, achievable and time-bound actions.

For any business, sustainability means balancing; economic, environmental and social factors. With the growing importance in today’s world, the readymix industry is also turning towards to improve the sustainability of its operations.

One of the primary ways for making the readymix business more sustainable is through resource optimization. The readymix industry requires significant amounts of material, such as cement, aggregates and water as well as energy to produce and deliver concrete. By optimizing the use of these resources, readymix industry can reduce waste of materials and energy consumption and improve the sustainability.

Energy efficiency is sine qua non for sustainability in every process area of readymix concrete, from obtaining raw materials until the concrete enters the forms. Without human priority, any sustainability programs is not applicable! Therefore, shortly, sustainability in readymix business involves primarily energy consumption and saving of natural resources as well as social issues in an economic balance.

Readymix companies can identify the areas such as possibility of using recycled materials or reducing the amount of cement required to produce concrete and excessive energy consumption points at the plant also improve the dispatch programs for fuel saving etc. Any optimization at above fields can lead to significant cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.

This ebook consists of following chapters; readymix concrete, what is sustainability, how to be sustainable, best management practices, managing the risks, resource efficiency, reducing returned concrete, using recycled materials, energy efficiency, air and noise in and around, social issues and training scope for sustainability.
