NRMCA Announces Winners of Environmental Excellence Awards

NRMCA has announced the winners of the 2013 Commitment to Environmental Excellence Awards as reviewed by a panel of judges based on a written narrative covering 11 evaluation criteria and photographs. The awards program, co-sponsored by Concrete Products magazine, offers producers national recognition for outstanding contributions to protecting the environment and maintaining sound environmental management practices in their operation. The program salutes companies that have not only met, but surpassed governmental compliance requirements and demonstrated a commitment to environmental excellence through plant and staff investment.

The program provides awards in five categories based on the plant’s production volume. Eligible plants include NRMCA producer members located in the U.S., its territories or Canada. "These plants have demonstrated that they are the 'best of the best' when it comes to being good stewards of the environment," said Gary Mullings, NRMCA senior vice president of operations and compliance.  "This is another example of the ready mixed concrete industry's move to environmental excellence," added NRMCA President Robert Garbini. "These winning plants clearly demonstrate the incorporation of environmental management systems into the plant’s operation."

The honored plants are as follows:

Category A: Less than 25,000 cubic yards of concrete produced:
Category B: Greater than 25,001, but less than 50,000 cubic yards of concrete produced:
Category C: Greater than 50,001, but less than 100,000 cubic yards of concrete produced:
Category D: Greater than 100,001, but less than 200,000 cubic yards of concrete produced:
Category E: Greater than 200,000 cubic yards of concrete produced:
All plants receiving awards will be honored during the awards luncheon at the NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks & Board of Directors’ Meeting just outside Las Vegas this September. Winning facilities will also be featured in an article in an upcoming edition of Concrete Products magazine and will be listed on NRMCA's Web site.
