Applicable Product
  • Most products available with recycled content
  • Reduced virgin cement consumption in select products
  • Grout in concrete masonry can contain substantial percentage of SCM

Angelus Block now offers from select locations CMU, pavers, and SRW units with post-consumer / pre-consumer recycled content blends (crushed waste product as aggregate replacement), resulting in a corresponding reduction in consumption of virgin aggregates. ¹

Additionally, the effect of the recycled content reduces the need for cement in certain mix designs, thereby reducing the consumption of cement.
