Building Green

Our innovative approach to environmentally sensitive concrete design has made us the market leader in “green” concrete. Not only is our concrete the most environmentally friendly concrete in the West, but it also delivers superior strength, consistency, workability, and finishability. Nearly half of the cement Metro Ready Mix uses is comprised of recycled, eco-friendly materials that significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gases emitted in the production of concrete raw materials. Click here to check out the green impact of our concrete in 2009 alone.

Metro Ready Mix is the leading concrete supplier in Utah that imports and uses ground granulated blast furnace slag. Coupled with fly ash, a traditional recycled cement replacement product, we are able to utilize more recycled materials than any other concrete supplier in Utah. This advance helps architects and construction professionals achieve their design goals and more easily comply with the LEED Green Building Rating System, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high-performance green buildings.

Blue is the New Green

Doing Your Part is Easy
Allowing us to supply your concrete is all you have to do to help conserve energy and reduce harmful greenhouse gases.

A project using just 1,000 yards of “green” concrete will:

1. Reduce CO2 by 66,000 lbs.
    Equal to taking 8.5 average-size cars off the road each year.

2. Produce 318 million fewer BTUs.
    Enough energy to power 3 average-size homes for a year.
