CONCRETE PRODUCTS & CAST STONE114 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 2 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comFor concrete block manufacturers, this means more uniform and better compaction of concrete block products, consistent production processes and, in many cases, shorter cycle times %u2013 which can lead to ecological and economic savings.Another advantage is their exceptionally long service life. While experience shows that wooden boards need to be replaced after 4-5 years and polyurethane-coated boards after around 10 years, Uniplast Ultra boards often remain in use for decades. If worn, the surface can be sanded down after many years of use and restored to almost new condition. This saves resources in the long term.Wasa offers an on-site sanding service for grinding the board surface. The boards are ground on site at the concrete block factories using a mobile grinding machineSustainability as a central componentIn addition to technical properties, the ecological balance is increasingly coming into focus of attention. Wasa Uniplast Ultra is made largely from recycled plastic. At the end of its service life, it can be completely returned to the recycling cycle. Its long service life also significantly reduces material consumption.Furthermore, recent decades have shown that used and older solid plastic boards from Wasa are a sought-after product on the second-hand market. It is not uncommon for solid plastic boards from Wasa to find a second product life cycle in DIY stores all over the world.Wasa AG also pursues a consistent sustainability strategy on the corporate side. Energy-efficient production processes, certified energy management and investments in renewable energies contribute to a continuous reduction in CO2 emissions.Insight into the glass fibre containers at Wasa in NeubrunnMobile grinding machine for on-site grinding of solid plastic boards
