Eco Material Technologies, the top fly ash and supplementary cementitious material processor and marketer, targets annual SCM volume of 20 million tons by 2030, a doubling of 2023 output. That projection leads production data and perspectives in the just-released 2023 Sustainability Report, showing how Eco Material last year:

Diverted more than 10.2 million tons of material from landfills, including fresh fly ash, bottom ash, and harvested landfilled ash;
Avoided or helped avoid 5.9 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by promoting binder or binding agents augmenting or replacing portland cement;
Expanded fly ash harvesting and beneficiation capabilities as work on new Texas and Georgia plants commenced or concluded;
Milled 69,000 tons of low-carbon cement products;
Issued an additional $125 million in Green Bonds to fund sustainability-driven projects and innovations, bringing the company’s total such financing instruments to $650 million;
Partnered with Pennsylvania sustainability consultant ClimeCo and other stakeholders to develop the first-ever U.S. Low-Carbon Cement Protocol for generating voluntary carbon credits; and,
Reduced Total Recordable Incident Rate below 1.0, significantly lower than the industry average, while boosting employee safety and health program investments.

“Our 2023 results demonstrate continued leadership in decarbonizing the cement and concrete industries,” says Eco Material Chief Growth Officer Rob McNally. “By expanding production of near-zero carbon supplementary cementitious materials, we are enabling customers to significantly reduce their environmental footprint while improving the performance of concrete. Innovative products like PozzoSlag and PozzoCEM can replace up to 100 percent of ordinary portland cement in certain applications, dramatically cutting emissions.”

“We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in sustainable construction materials,” adds CEO Grant Quasha. “Our goal is not just to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry, but to revolutionize how we build for a more sustainable future.”
