Granite (NYSE:GVA) announced today its Santa Clara Asphalt
Facility in Santa Clara, California has been recognized as a
California Green Business by the California Green Business Network
in acknowledgement of its efforts to conserve resources and prevent
pollution to help make Santa Clara County a more sustainable
community. Granite is the only asphalt plant with this designation
in California.
As a California Green Business, Granite enforces practices that
help to cut down on the use of water and energy and reduce waste to
make a lasting, sustainable change. Granite recycles approximately
one million tons of asphalt and concrete per year in California
alone. On average, the Santa Clara plant uses 40,000 to 60,000 tons
of recycled asphalt and approximately 1,500 tons of recycled rubber
tires each year for use in their reclaimed asphalt pavement and
rubberized asphalt, two products that conserve raw materials and
reduce emissions.
“We are proud to serve as an industry leader in environmentally
responsible aggregates and asphalt production, while managing
environmental risk and conserving natural resources,” said Coastal
Region Construction Materials Manager Donald Roland.
Sustainability is Granite’s strategic approach to managing
business with the future in mind: integrating values of social
responsibility and environmental stewardship while supporting
economic prosperity by building infrastructure that improves
quality of life. To learn more about Granite’s commitment to
