A plant that recycles and processes glass to create a component for greener concrete opened Dec. 11 in Connecticut, after the company proved its concept on several New York City projects and could be among other businesses to qualify for incentives included in bills pending in the New York State legislature.
Pozzotive, a ground glass pozzolan, can replace up to 50% of the cement for concrete, says Patrick Grasso, a partner at Urban Mining Northeast, which has partnered on the product with the family of Ray Oneglia, vice chairman of materials and concrete supplier O&G Industries.
