"We congratulate them for their success in introducing new tools, services, and systems that are driving the next phase of greentech innovation and transforming the biggest industries on earth."

Integrity Block has introduced the first green replacement for standard concrete block. Integrity Block products require 40% less energy to create, emit 39% less CO2, and are made with up to 50% pre-recycled content. Benefits for commercial and residential builders include a more natural finish, possible LEED credits, and no change to the building process. Integrity Block plans to release its landscape line in September, followed by its structural and architectural line in November.
