Concrete that
reduces
landfill waste
-
Trashy Concrete has a unique blend of densified Styrofoam that replaces the typical aggregates found in concrete.
The recycled Styrofoam makes our products lighter and more durable, reducing the carbon footprint of shipping while giving waste a second life.
-
See that stack behind the prototype? That’s roughly how much Styrofoam goes into the finished table.
For every cubic foot of Trashy Concrete, we repurpose about 40-50 cubic feet of Styrofoam—meaning each Trashy table represents the removal of roughly 50 tables’ worth of waste.
-
We source our Styrofoam from pharmaceutical waste in North Carolina, giving discarded materials a new life.
-
Our unique concrete mix is one-third lighter than traditional concrete. We repurpose densified, ground-up Styrofoam, reducing landfill waste while maintaining the strength you need. Lighter than standard sand and rock aggregates, it’s a smarter choice for sustainable, high-performance concrete projects.
-
Our concrete is twice as strong as traditional concrete.
-
Trashy Concrete can be finished in a variety of ways. Many people love the terrazzo-style look, but we offer several options to match your design vision.
-
Trashy Wood is urban wood, sourced from salvaged trees that would otherwise be chipped or sent to landfills in central North Carolina.
When wood decomposes or is chipped, the carbon it stores is released into the atmosphere. By repurposing it, we prevent tree harvesting for furniture, essentially doubling the environmental benefits.

We think we could set the record for the most waste material repurposed in a building material—and we just might go for the Guinness World Record. What do you think?
