Continental Cement is one of only 12 cement manufacturers permitted to handle federally-regulated hazardous waste materials as a fuel source, and one of only two cement manufacturers permitted to handle federally-regulated solid hazardous waste materials. These materials include a wide range of recycled industrial by-products and waste materials. All material that we recycle undergoes an extensive pre-qualification process as dictated by federal and state regulations. Waste materials account for nearly 50 % of our annual fuel requirements, compared to the industry average of 10 %. Listed below are examples of the waste materials recycled by Green America Recycling on an annual basis and some of the impact they have on the environment. Liquid hazardous waste – 78,000,000 pounds of material such as chlorinated and non-chlorinated solvents, flammable paints, refinery liquids and oils are burned for energy recovery. Solid hazardous waste – 40,000,000 pounds of material such as solvent contaminated rags, debris, spill clean up media and refinery wastes are burned for energy recovery. Metals – 1,000,000 pounds of metal are properly recycled and prevented from going to landfills. Pallets – 3,000 delivery pallets are recycled for reuse. Used motor oil and used paint / paint-related materials are collected periodically as part of a local community recycling program. On average, over 110,000,000 pounds of hazardous materials are burned for energy recovery and thus excluded from landfills or non-productive incineration. This equates to over 100,000,000 pounds of coal resources that are preserved.

Recycling facilities adhere to strict environmental standards and often collaborate with businesses and communities to promote sustainability, conserve resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This process supports a circular economy, turning waste into opportunity while protecting the planet.
