Recycled Concrete Retaining Walls

0D9C1BC1-708B-4F27-8D62-E08F9620EBA2.jpgI just read an article about a company with an exciting product. The company is Concrete Repeat and is a division of Southern Benchmark. The owner of the company didn’t want to pay to have some old concrete sent to the landfill so he pilled it up at his home. His wife suggested that he use that material in his business and Concrete Repeat was born.

Clean concrete is resized and turned into segmented wall systems for home and business. The walls look good, are green and save the customer money. This is yet another example of a company that took waste from their business, saved money by not sending to a landfill and in the case of Concrete Repeat made money by repurposing the waste.

Is there something you could be doing in your business that will save you money and give you another product? Keep looking, it may be as close as your waste stream.
