Building material supplier Silvi Materials joined the Slag Cement Association (SCA) as its newest member company. The company is committed to running its operations with methods that are energy efficient and reduce its carbon footprint, including using supplementary cementitious materials such as ground-granulated blast-furnace slag.
Silvi Materials stores its slag in a 35,000-ton dome at an import facility in Bristol, Pa. It provides ready-mix concrete, aggregate, cement, and slag from over 23 locations.
National Cement Sales Manager of Silvi Materials Kelly Ican said, “Silvi’s mission is to maximize the utilization of recycled and recovered building materials, such as slag cement, aligning with SCA’s vision to lower embodied carbon in the concrete industry, we are glad to be a partner.”
The Slag Cement Association is an organization of companies that produce and ship slag cement in the United States; these shipments represent more than 95% of all slag cement used in U.S. concrete.
