HARSCO ECOPRODUCTS SERVICE DRIVES CEMENT, CONSTRUCTION TO ZERO-WASTE 

Harsco Environmental, a division of Camp Hill, Pa.-based Harsco Corp., has launched ecoproducts, a new service line that includes 62 offerings for cement, construction and five other industries. Compared to the former Applied Products banner, management notes, the ecoproducts moniker better reflects Harsco Environmental’s positive impact on the environment. The business strives to provide a sustainable alternative to virgin material by being more cost effective and offering higher performance than mined or processed alternatives.

“Where most see waste, we see unimagined value,” says Harsco Environmental Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Russ Mitchell. “Since our inception, Harsco Environmental has been renowned for its vast service offerings and has remained at the front lines for our customers. As we evolve into an environmental solutions provider, we are committed to increasing our sustainable offerings.
