Because of low cost, production controls, and sustainable manufacturing, demand for recycled materials in local industry rises steadily, creating a need for new facilities. We propose to add five (5) new buildings to the Harford Minerals Campus.
Materials to be recycled will be determined by evaluating:
- Demand for Materials -
- Volume of Waste Streams -
- Elements of Waste Materials -
- Markets and Processes for Materials Re-Use -
Managing waste materials is not tomorrow’s problem, but something we must actively combat today. Understanding both the opportunity and the urgency of recyclable materials, our goal is to advance forward as a full-scale eco industrial center designed to fully monetize waste, drive economic development, and advance environmental sustainability for Harford County and Maryland.
While Maryland’s waste diversion rate has greatly increased
in the last thirty years, it has plateaued recently— new
developments like Harford Minerals will reignite momentum
for progress in this crucial space, and lead the way for the
entire state. Compostables and paper materials constituted the largest portion of materials recycled, meaning the need for recycling streams of other materials is even more urgent.
Logistically, opportunities exist for easy rail and truck transport to the site, allowing for operations to scale with ease. One building will be utilized for tunnel segment precast or brick manufacturing, and the other four buildings may potentially be used for various materials processing such as titanium, paper, plastic, electronics, rare earth, and tire recycling. Ideally, an innovative research facility will also amplify the facility’s demand.
Harford Materials has developed an essential campus for sustainable materials in the
construction and aggregates industries, pioneering new technologies and practices never before
