Enviro-Corp Recycling

Worth mentioning there’s another option besides Styrofoam for lightweight fill. Foam glass aggregate is made from recycled glass and can reduce load while also providing drainage and insulation.

Here is where its been used: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14feL68Aoer/

Thank you recycle it. Not sure how we missed this amazing post you did last year.

Ever wonder what happens to your glass after it's dropped off at Recycle-It? 🤔

It's actually turned into ROCK! 🪨🪨🪨 Not just any rock... Enviro-Rock! 😮

Your glass is shipped to 🚘 Enviro-Corp Recycling in Quesnel, BC,🚛 where their innovative process turns old glass bottles and jars into an innovative product called "Enviro-Rock." 🪨

Here's the full CBC interview. It's worth the watch we promise! 😀 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r5wKtSu0j4

♻️ Don't Trash It! Recycle-It... into Rocks! ♻️

Did we see you at VGS last Friday?

Enviro-Corp Recycling was at the 32nd Vancouver Geotechnical Society Symposium with Enviro-Rock samples at Booth #12.

It was great talking with engineers, contractors, and geotechnical professionals about lightweight Foam Glass Aggregate and where Enviro-Rock fits in real site conditions.

We were also glad to see Read Fenton MBA P.Eng. with Jason Thai presentation on "Foamed Glass Aggregate as Lightweight Fill.”

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, and picked up a sample.

Big week for Enviro-Rock at the Vancouver Geotechnical Society Symposium.

Enviro-Corp will be attending the 32nd VGS Symposium this Friday at Paradox Vancouver.

Come visit us at Booth #12 to talk Enviro-Rock, lightweight fill, drainage, and where Foam Glass Aggregate fits in real project conditions.

Read Fenton and Jason Thai will also be presenting, with Jason scheduled for “Foamed Glass Aggregate as Lightweight Fill” at 3:10 PM.

See you there.

Enviro-Corp is 100% Canadian owned and operated. We recycle Western Canada's waste glass, creating new products: Sandblasting Abrasives, pool filtration sand, light-weight glass rocks (Enviro-rock),and waste-glass to be made into new bottles.

This Metrotown site didn’t need more weight.

A couple weeks ago, Enviro-Rock was delivered to a Concord Pacific project in Metrotown, Vancouver.

At roughly 250 kg/m³, our Foam Glass Aggregate is about 90% lighter than traditional gravel, helping reduce trucking, site loading, and handling time.

What goes under a plaza matters a lot more when there's a structure below it.

This entire area sits over a underground parkade. That limits how much weight you can place and how you build around it.

Instead of traditional granular fill, this was built using Enviro-Rock Foam Glass Aggregate. It brings the area up to grade without adding unnecessary load back into the structure. Same build. Engineered differently.

We are at the Partners Conference this week.

As a company that has been recycling glass since 2008. Events like this matter to us, from blasting abrasives, water filtration, recycled glass cullet to Foam Glass Aggregate. Everything we make starts with glass that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

Everyone walks over this… but no one knows what’s underneath.

The building stayed in place, but everything around it settled. The sidewalk and access had to be redone after the surrounding ground failed.

This is where lightweight fill like Enviro-Rock starts to make a difference, so you’re not rebuilding the same problem back into the ground.

Most contractors have never seen Foam Glass Aggregate before.

This is exactly how Enviro-Rock foam glass aggregate gets installed under a slab foundation.

Step 1 — Excavate to sub-grade
Step 2 — Install geotextile
Step 3 — Place Enviro-Rock
Step 4 — Light compaction (20%
Step 5 — Cover / Wrap layer
Step 6 — Install Cap layer

No moisture retention. No compression over time. No rot. Just a stable, insulating, load-bearing base. DM us or visit enviro-rock.ca
