I am being granted opportunities to often observe firsthand the breakthroughs pushing boundaries across the plant, construction, quarrying, and recycling industries, and to find out more about the processes and people behind the progress.

This is certainly the case when it comes to this edition’s cover story about how ReCon Resources’ inspiring sustainability journey has led to the creation of ReCon Concrete.
Delve behind the scenes of the production of the premium concrete using recycled aggregates, therefore reducing waste, cutting carbon, and building a greener future.
