 specialty materials comes from quarries. Natural aggregates and specialty materials can be found throughout the U.S. We have a proven and successful record of securing long-term reserve positions for both current and future mine locations through our employment of exploration teams and the use of professional third parties. Our reserves are critical to our raw material supply and long-term success. We currently estimate that we have 1.4 billion tons of proven and probable natural aggregates and specialty materials reserves strategically located in favorable markets that are expected to require large amounts of aggregates to meet future construction demand. For further discussion of our natural aggregates and specialty materials reserves, please refer to Item 2. “Properties.”

Recycled aggregates are not dependent on reserves and the primary raw material is demolished concrete which is processed into recycled aggregates. We source raw material both internally and externally primarily from demolition and road removal projects. We control a portion of our raw material needs through demolition services that we provide, and we source the remainder in competitive markets from third parties. Due to increasing landfill scarcity, the acceptance of demolished concrete may be restricted, increasing the availability of raw product at our crushing locations. In certain markets, we are paid a fee to accept raw product. Our competitive advantages include our operating permits, which allow recycling activities, and the strategic location of our stationary crushing sites.
