Sustainable living has become an encouraged philosophy as our consumption of natural resources becomes a major concern. Recycling industry by-products in our concrete is a major way that we pursue the "green" philosophy.
We at Marveled Designs are furthering our pursuit of "green" by redesigning our approach to mix design and introducing Greencrete. By working with local businesses to recycle their glass and broken wares to use as aggregate replacement in our concrete we are increasing our recycled materials to 25%.
