Green Concrete... Who Cares?

More people than you think!

GOING GREEN!!

CAT AND I INC, CARES!

Because of its weight, concrete is the most recycled material in the United States! According to the CMRA (Construction Materials Recycling Association) “approximately 140 million tons of concrete are recycled each year in the U. S.” Healthier environment and more efficient economy are here! Concrete is routinely being recycled into our highway systems in the U. S. and provides for superior compaction and constructiveness. The recycled aggregates are lighter weight per unit of volume resulting in reduced material costs. It’s a win-win situation for all!

CAT AND I INC. concrete cutting is a family owned business located in Winter Garden, FL., providing all of your concrete cutting needs since 1991, excavation, demolition, hauling and recently carpet/tile removal services. WE CARE!

We believe that by improving the environmental performance of our business, we can help ensure a clean and healthy environment for future generations, leading to a more efficient economy. We are recycling concrete from demolition projects resulting in considerable savings, since it saves the costs of transporting concrete to the landfill and eliminates the cost of disposal fees. More disposal sites are opening up and contractors are incorporating recycling into their operations which reduces landfill waste streams. The recycling of concrete is a relatively easy process involving concrete breaking, removing debris, crushing concrete into a material with a specified size and quality. There are no restrictions on the types of concrete pavements that can be recycled.

CAT AND I INC. is pleased to announce that we have opened an in-house recycling facility in Orlando. The all-in-house facility can process all products that CAT AND I INC. come in contact with. We believe by taking small steps when trying to go green, can make a big difference in the long run.

We are taking notice of all our departments and how we can do our part in helping our community. Our first step was a simple one, see how many places you can eliminate paper. Technology, isn’t it great? Data can be stored electronically.

We are looking at what our company consumes and finding ways to recycle, reduce and reuse. We hope you are doing the same.

Concrete cutting tools are turning green! We support Husqvarna Construction Products. They manufacture a saw that eliminates all odor and fumes. These saws can be used in any enclosed building including hospitals. You can visit their site at www.husqvarna.com. On a bonus note, the saws are all made in the U.S.A.
