In 1987, the founders of Recycled Materials Company, Inc. (RMCI) were the first to operate a mobile recycle plant in the United States; on a Kansas highway project.
For more than 20 years, RMCI has provided construction services for the removal of concrete, processing of concrete rubble into specification aggregates, subgrade preparation, and subbase installation for interstate highway and airport projects with a market emphasis throughout the western U.S.
RMCI, a recycling pioneer, ties the production of recycled aggregate with the utilization of Value Engineering in order to facilitate market acceptance and sustainability.
RMCI has created a model for brownfield projects worldwide with the demolition and recycling of 6.5 million tons of aggregate at Denver’s former Stapleton International Airport. The project, known as
The World’s Largest Recycle Project, covered 1,400 acres of runways, taxiways and aprons and the total aggregate recycled there could build a two-lane highway from Denver, CO. to Chicago, IL. Removals proceeded as scheduled over a six-year period and, as of July 2005, are complete.
