CDE, a leading supplier of sand and aggregate washing solutions for the waste recycling and natural minerals processing sectors, plans to host an open house event with innovators, Freehaven Materials in Brookhaven, New York.
As demand for aggregates is anticipated to continue rising across the United States, Freehaven Materials wanted a solution that would turn waste into reusable materials. They realised that venturing into wet washing could give them this advantage and generate additional revenue.
To meet market demands and support the local industry, CDE and Freehaven Materials have partnered to deliver a 150tph waste recycling solution that reuses construction, demolition, and excavation waste.
Commissioned in 2024, the plant allows Freehaven Materials to transform waste streams into five sand and aggregate products, which are being reused in infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, roads, and other critical infrastructure across Long Island.
Joseph Teahl, Business Development Manager at CDE, says: “We’re looking forward to showcasing our innovative technologies at this open house event. At this event, we will highlight the innovation behind this waste recycling plant and see how we’ve enabled Freehaven Materials to turn today’s “waste“ into tomorrow’s resources.
“Plants like this play a crucial role in addressing global sand and aggregate shortages by reducing landfill waste, conserving natural resources and contributing to a circular economy, and we’re proud to be supporting Freehaven Materials with this sustainable solution.”
Tom Hayes, Managing Partner at Freehaven Materials, added: “We recognized the challenges of procuring raw materials and saw an opportunity to capitalize on in the marketplace, and given CDE’s reputation as a market leader, we knew this was the right investment for us.
“Through the whole process, CDE provided us with a comprehensive consulting approach from engineering experts which in turn gave us the confidence we needed to get this plant up and running. We’re really proud of this plant and look forward to showcasing it at the open house event.”
At the open house, guests will have the opportunity to meet with both the CDE and Freehaven teams, learn more about waste recycling solutions, and take a detailed tour of the plant led by technical experts who can have personalised discussions on how this technology can be applied through a range of operations.
The open house event takes place on Wednesday, May 14th 2025 from 8am–4pm EST.
