Green America Recycling (GAR), a subsidiary of Summit Materials, is committed to creating a positive impact on the environment, conserving natural resources, and paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
GAR’s primary focus is on the transformation of waste materials into valuable resources, specifically through the reuse of waste materials as alternative fuels and raw materials (AFR) in the cement manufacturing process. By sourcing waste materials from agricultural, industrial, public, and municipal sectors, we aim to minimize the environmental impact of waste disposal while maximizing energy recovery and raw material replacement.
