C3 stands for triple circular; The circular procurement of concrete, the circular handling of wood and the circular setting in which our employees work. Rock products are produced in a sustainable way and contribute to a circular economy.
THROW AWAY GOOD WOOD?
Through a good partnership with a large national contractor, we have generated a continuous flow of scaffolding boards. These planks are rejected for construction and scaffolding purposes after being used several times. By stripping the planks of nails and screws, burring off the sharp edges, sanding the surfaces and checking for splinters, we prepare the planks for a second life. The planks keep the raw lived-in character, but are now fully suitable for outdoor furniture.

DUMPING CONCRETE SURPLUSES ON THE RUBBLE PILE?
Our products are made from residual concrete that comes from one of the largest concrete plants in Amsterdam. This is because concrete plants always have concrete left over; after all, no contractor orders shortages! Often the concrete that remains is still of good quality and still very suitable to produce our products with. In cooperation with the concrete plant, we have selected a number of suitable concrete types and receive the leftover concrete instead of it ending up in the landfill. By enriching the concrete with a number of admixtures, we turn it into very high-quality concrete elements.

They learn new skills and get back into the work rhythm. Over time, we see these people return to the labor market.
