Sometimes I look at our concrete mixer drums and think: "This used to be someone’s trash." Literally. Our drums are made from recycled polyethylene powder—waste that might have otherwise been discarded. Instead, it’s now durable, lightweight, and better than traditional metal drums. What fascinates me isn’t just the engineering but the story behind it. Taking something unwanted and turning it into something invaluable feels poetic. It’s a small step, but one that reminds me sustainability doesn’t have to be flashy; it can be practical, even humble. In an industry like construction, where environmental impact is hard to ignore, I’m proud we’re doing our part—proof that even waste can build something better. #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy #ConstructionThoughts #Plasticconcretemixer

Plastics are a twentieth-century development that revolutionized the ways that humans lived. Made from hydrocarbons, these materials were flexible, versatile and long-lasting. And because the disposal of the materials was never included in their price, they were incredibly cheap. Now microplastics can be found everywhere in the world from the tallest mountain to the deepest ocean and are impacting our air, water and food supply. Here is a short article on how we can take the long-lasting quality of plastics, which can take 500 years to fully decompose, and use them where that longevity is a benefit rather than a detriment: https://lnkd.in/ezmJ-RNE Thank you for reading, liking, commenting and sharing this post, if you find it to be interesting or informative. #PlasticInArchitecture #GreatPacificGarbagePatch #BuildSustainably #LiveSustainably

Happy Earth Day! Today, as we celebrate our planet and reflect on ways to protect it, steel framing stands out as a prime example. Not only does it offer exceptional strength and durability, but it's also eco-friendly. Steel is 100% recyclable and infinitely recyclable, making it one of the most recycled materials on the planet, reducing the demand for raw resources and minimizes waste. By opting for our technology, we not only construct stronger structures but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. Our innovative approach minimizes waste to less than 1%, with all materials being recyclable, thereby reinforcing our dedication to environmental responsibility. Let's continue to embrace technologies and practices that prioritize both progress and the planet. . . . #EarthDay #EarthDay2024 #Steelframes #steelframe #steelconstruction #ecofriendlysystem #recyclable #enviromentalresponsability #steelframing #rollformingmachine #steelmanufacture #steelframingsolutions #BuildSteel #rollformedmachine #galvanizedsteel #FutureOfConstruction #Engineering

𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 by World Steel Association (worldsteel) Steel - the permanent material in the circular economy. The circular economy is a move from #linear business models, in which products are manufactured from #rawmaterials and then #discarded at the end of their useful lives, to #circular #businessmodels, where intelligent design leads to #products or their parts being #reused, #remanufactured and #recycled. The #concept of #circulareconomy drives optimal resource #efficiency. It makes sure that #resources are allocated to #products and #services in such a way as to enable a sustainable future for everyone. All steel products need to be designed #efficiently and to be #durable, easy to #reuse and #remanufacture, and ultimately #recycled. For #society, the #benefits of a circular economy include durable #products, local #jobs, reduced #emissions, and the conservation of raw materials for future generations. 🔴 #Reduce Decreasing the amount of #material, #energy, #waste and other #resources used to create #steel and reducing the #weight of steel used in products. Integrating the concept of doing more with less. ➡️ Reduce in steel applications ➡️ Reduce during steel production ➡️ Reduce through material efficiency 🔴 #Reuse Reuse is using an object or material again, either for its original purpose or for a similar purpose, without significantly altering the physical form of the object or material. ➡️ Reuse in steel applications ➡️ Reuse in buildings 🔴 #Remanufacture Remanufacturing is the standardised industrial process of restoring used steel-containing products to as-new. ➡️Remanufacture of steel-containing products 🔴 #Recycle Melting steel scrap from products at the end of their useful life to create new steels. Recycling alters the physical form of the steel object so that a new application can be reated from the recycled material while maintaining the inherent properties of the original steel. ➡️ Steel recycling: Attributes and benefits The article link is below: https://lnkd.in/eM4NEkG2

Important question: How Re-bending affects the resisting stress of the bars. Eg. shear studs are allowed to be checked with bending them only once and to a maximum 15 degrees against its welded alignment.
