| Recycled Content: | Class C fly ash |

Ecostone is an aggregate-like material created when Class C fly ash is mixed with water, hardened and reclaimed. Ecostone is a cost-effective alternative to other materials commonly used to construct hardened bases or platforms, including those for animal feed lots, stockpiling materials or storing farm equipment.
Class C fly ash is what remains after sub-bituminous coal is burned to generate electricity at Iowa-based generating stations, including Prairie Creek in Cedar Rapids and Sutherland in Marshalltown.When this fly ash is mixed with water it flash-sets and hardens to form a cement-like material that, when reclaimed, can be used in many different applications. Ecostone is produced at the Prairie Creek and Sutherland generating stations in Iowa.
Although Ecostone is not a direct replacement for concrete, it should, with proper application and maintenance, improve wet yard conditions, animal footing and consequently, weight gains.
