Recycled Materials Association (ReMA) Fall meeting is finished and what a wealth of information we got. Interesting to hear from operators all over the US experiencing similar headwinds. Volumes are mild, safety is paramount, labor is expensive, and fires are abundant. Pre-shredders won’t eliminate fires, but they do help prevent fires INSIDE your hammermill or material piles. I love seeing videos of our Blue Devil on fire - that means it’s doing its job! ReMA Southeast Region and Shredder Ops Forum are next month following the biggest elephant in any room - the election. Hopefully to follow, new infrastructure bills and trade discussions will help the steel market. Exciting end of the year. #recycledmaterials #metal #recycling #steel #scrap

Heavy-duty, adjustable catch basin filter captures plastic pellets and other contaminants. The Ultra-Storm Guard captures microplastics (“nurdles”) before they enter our waterways where marine life and wildlife ingest them, which is oftentimes fatal. It also captures larger items and floatables, like leaves, cigarette butts, paper goods, and other debris. The Ultra-Storm Guard is easy to install, too. Simply raise the grate, place the storm guard over the opening, adjust accordingly (up to 2″ in each direction), and carefully lower the grate back in place.

Eggshell Powder: A Sustainable Strength Booster Discarded eggshells, rich in calcium carbonate, are proving to be a game-changer in construction. When used as a partial replacement for cement (5-10%), eggshell powder enhances the compressive strength of concrete while reducing cement usage and CO2 emissions. This innovative approach not only recycles waste but also promotes sustainable construction practices without compromising quality. Are we ready to build greener with solutions like this? #Sustainability #EggshellPowder #GreenBuilding #CO2Reduction #EcoFriendly

Tired of equipment downtime due to wet soil? Soil Recycling Co. in Victoria, Australia, faced this exact challenge—until they found the solution with the ALLU DN 2-12 TS 25 Axe bucket. In just one day, this bucket processed an outstanding 310 m³ of topsoil, dramatically improving productivity. The self-cleaning, anti-clogging design meant fewer disruptions and faster processing, allowing the team to tackle challenging materials with ease. Plus, after switching to TS 50 blades, they saw even better results, handling larger soil lumps more effectively.

"Straw might seem like the very last product you'd use to make your house fire-resistant. But as it turns out, straw panels, made from waste material that's otherwise burned off or discarded, are a secret weapon against flames. As well as being a handy way to prevent fire damage and heat or cold transfers (making buildings more energy-friendly), the straw panels also put a waste product to good use. But the straw panels aren't without their Achilles heel. If they get wet, the panels become spongy and useless. It also means waterproofing is a must." https://lnkd.in/gCn_-yVg #constructionmaterials #constructionsustainability #greenconstruction
