Crushed filtration sand is a cornerstone product at Recycled Concrete Products. It’s moisture-wicking and naturally filtering, making it perfect for a range of applications from septic tank installation to water treatment systems and more.

Recycled aggregates, however, contribute 50 percent less CO2 than the process required to create virgin aggregates.
One of the main uses of recycled concrete is in infrastructure. Civil construction projects rely heavily on recycled concrete – whether that’s a road or highway reconstruction, footpaths, bridges, tunnels, or anything else. Many landscaping applications can be completed thanks to recycled concrete. Aggregate mixes like 50/70 are particularly useful for residential and commercial applications like yard drainage systems, allowing rainwater to be successfully diverted and captured. Smaller aggregate mixes can be used for decorative gravel paths.
Cement has been used in construction for thousands of years. It’s the most widely used material in construction, and for good reason. But over the years, our construction processes have adapted to the growing need for recycling and sustainability. That’s where...
