Aggregates and Recycling

At a glance

By recycling concrete, CO₂ is sequestered from the atmosphere after crushing due to the concrete’s exposure to the air.  LEED credits can be earned both by recycling demo from a project and by creating new structures with recycled Green-Stone aggregates.

Recycled aggregate: The time is now

Lock-Block Ltd. annually processes over 300,000 tonnes of concrete rubble from construction sites into high-quality aggregates suitable for making fresh concrete. That’s thousands of tonnes diverted annually from landfill sites, and made into useable products that we sell under the Green-Stone™ brand.

Leaders in green technology

Lock Block Ltd. uses a state-of-the art crushing, screening, and washing process that maximizes the potential of waste concrete rubble gathered from construction sites. Recycling “waste” into high-quality product, our on-site state-of-the-art TRIO CT crushing, screening and washing operation breaks down concrete rubble and:

The resulting aggregates:

Winner of the prestigious 2012 ASTTBC TechGREEN Award for our work in recycling, Lock-Block Ltd. minimizes our environmental impact. Currently, the only material that leaves our site is a small amount of wood and debris filtered out of our closed loop aggregate washing operation and we aim to make the leftover material from this process into a usable product. Our mortar dust residuals are a perfect liming agent for growing grass.
