$40M Soil Cleanwashing Facility Opens in Philadelphia

Alterra IOS has completed a $40 million soil cleanwashing facility in South Philadelphia in partnership with Eco Materials.

The new plant offers a sustainable solution to reclaim and repurpose sand, aggregate and construction waste through an advanced wet washing process. The facility remediates and repurposes more than 85% of incoming materials back into the construction ecosystem for future use. Located at 6110 West Passyunk Ave., the Wash Plant sits within a strategically located, multi-acre industrial outdoor storage site with direct access to key regional infrastructure.

“This facility represents the future of construction, where sustainability and profitability go hand in hand,” said Leo Addimando, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Alterra IOS. “We’re transforming dirty soil into clean, reusable material on site, and we’re doing it by cutting costs, reducing emissions and keeping the entire process local.”
