The National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) has completed its Sample Green-Star Environmental Management System (EMS) templates, designed to serve as tools for ready mixed producers customizing EMS strategies. Accordingly, the templates help ready mixed production facilities identify means to achieve environmental goals by implementing principles of the NRMCA Green-Star program, originated in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency.
While RMC facilities are using Green-Star to operate in a more environmentally friendly manner, they are saving money by analyzing their environmental program and setting goals to reduce such items as water and power use, notes Gary Mullings, NRMCA’s senior vice president of operations and compliance.
