NRMCA Certifies Sustainable Concrete Plant in Doha, Qatar

Falcon Ready Mix Company’s Lusail Plant located in Doha, Qatar, became the fifth NRMCA Certified Sustainable Concrete Plant in the world this week. The plant is certified at the Silver level. To certify, plant personnel use a document titled Sustainable Concrete Plant Guidelines that rates a plant’s level of sustainability within different credit categories, with the objective of reducing carbon footprint, energy consumption, water use and waste; increasing recycled content; and improving human health and social conditions. Plants can achieve between 0 and 100 points depending on how many sustainability credits are achieved and their level of performance within each credit. After third party audit, plants can obtain an NRMCA Sustainable Concrete Plant Certification level of:

Bronze: 30-49 points
Silver: 50-69 points
Gold: 70-89 points
Platinum: 90-100 points
