Outstanding results were achieved from the recycling program implemented at this year’s World of Concrete. Hanley Wood, LLC and Freeman indicate that 81% of the post-show waste collected at World of Concrete was diverted from local landfills and recycled. In addition to the typical materials used at shows, WOC also contends with concrete walls and slabs poured for demonstrations. The concrete used was also
recycled at the close of the show.

“World of Concrete is pleased to be taking an active role in this effort to recycle postshow waste and concrete. We are taking this proactive approach in cooperation with Freeman, who has been a valuable resource in orchestrating this effort,” stated World of Concrete Director Tom Cindric.

“Hanley Wood came to us in search of ways they could make World of Concrete more ecofriendly. It took some creative research, but we were very excited to find a recycling company, Evergreen Recycling, that could partner with us to produce such impressive results,” notes Martin Moggre, Vice President, Sales Administration, Freeman.

In addition to this postshow effort, WOC also featured GREENSITE, a new green build area, located in the South Hall, Level 2. In this high traffic area, exhibitors showcased green build technologies and products along with interactive displays, video presentations, and valuable information on this growing topic of concern for the commercial and residential construction industries.

“Working with Evergreen Recycling this year has created an important program that we hope to utilize with other Hanley Wood shows in 2008 and beyond,” adds Cindric.
