Check out these concrete Veneerstones created with Synthetic Aggregates that recycle plastic. The company CRDC GLOBAL diverts plastic waste from landfill and incineration to manufacture RESIN8?? recycled content, a lightweight synthetic aggregate that replaced 30% of the natural aggregate in these Veneerstone mix designs. They’re beautiful looking and beautiful for the environment. CRDC GLOBAL is a founding member of the Synthetic Aggregate Association
