Urban Mining CT has developed a concrete additive made of recycled glass. The company — based out of its Beacon Falls waste-gloss processing facility — breaks down, cleans and then transforms glass into a product called Pozzotive, which can be added to concrete mix in place of other compounds like cement, which is more costly, both environmentally and economically. Torrington-based construction and general contracting firm O&G Industries has used Pozzotive in several of its Connecticut projects, too. O&G also partnered with Pozzotive inventor Louis Grasso to build Urban Mining CT’s Beacon Falls manufacturing facility.

From glass to concrete, CT company offers construction industry environmentally conscious cement alternative
