  • Ensure that our employees and contractors respect environmental responsibilities.
  • Proactively address the challenges and opportunities of climate change.
  • Optimize our use of energy and resources through efficiency gains and recycling.

  • Be good neighbors in the many communities in which we operate.

  

Warm-mix Asphalt – Asphalt mixtures are critical infrastructure building materials. They consist of a blend of approximately 95 percent stone and sand, heated and bound together with bituminous asphalt. As concern for our environment grows new technologies are becoming more important. Warm-mix asphalt has been developed to lower the production and placement temperature of traditional hot-mix asphalt. It results in the reduction of energy consumption as well as plant emissions, and increases the use of reclaimed asphalt pavement.

Restoration Projects – Environmental stewardship requires the use of stone products for projects like this one in Colorado near the Continental Divide and the headwaters of the 77-mile Eagle River. The restoration project used a coordinated program of bank stabilization, stream channel improvements, riparian vegetation establishment and improved land use management to improve the habitat.

Porous Pavement – In keeping with its commitment to stay on the cutting edge of technological advances in the paving industry, Oldcastle Materials is installing porous pavement, which allows rain to move through asphalt and into a rock layer placed below the pavement.

Improving Biodiversity Through Wildlife Habitat Sites – In 2004 Oldcastle Materials established a partnership with Wildlife Habitat Council, a conservation organization that helps corporations and other groups to establish wildlife habitat sites on their lands to preserve and enhance biodiversity. Oldcastle has sites in Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Vermont.
