Sustainable by Design: Pozzotive Concrete O&G's innovation isn't limited to large-scale systems; it's also in the materials that build our cities. Among the first construction companies to adopt Pozzotive, a recycled glass pozzolan that replaces traditional cement, O&G now incorporates it into all its concrete mixes. Produced from locally sourced post-consumer glass and produced in Beacon Falls, Pozzotive replaces a portion of traditional cement, which is the largest carbon contributor in concrete, cutting embodied emissions by up to 40%, while enhancing strength and durability. Every step supports a circular economy and proves that sustainability and strength can go hand in hand, building a cleaner, more resilient future for Connecticut. Innovation That Builds Better Communities From the classroom to the jobsite, from materials science to environmental stewardship, O&G Industries proves that innovation and sustainability fuel the same purpose: building a better future. As Connecticut continues to lead in clean energy, construction technology, and smart infrastructure, O&G is proud to build the future - efficiently, responsibly, and beautifully.
