The Role of REGEN Fiber in Concrete Innovation: Insights from Dave Swanson 

Concrete technology has evolved

After more than two decades in the cement industry, Dave Swanson has seen concrete technology evolve in remarkable ways. In this video, Dave shares his perspective on how recycled materials—specifically REGEN Fiber—are shaping the future of more sustainable, durable concrete.

With a background that includes working closely with chemists, civil engineers, and business leaders, as well as serving on boards for several major industry associations, Dave brings a broad and informed view of the concrete world. Over the years, he’s seen firsthand how innovations like fly ash, slag, and now REGEN Fiber are transforming what’s possible with concrete.

In the video below, Dave explains:

• How REGEN Fiber differs from traditional reinforcement fibers
• Why finishers and producers prefer it over other fibers
• The role of recycled materials like wind turbine blades in making concrete more sustainable
• How REGEN Fiber helps reduce surface cracking without interfering with finishing
• Why REGEN Fiber helps simplify concrete mixes rather than adding more variability

He also talks about how REGEN Fiber fits into the broader movement toward sustainable cement blends like Type 1L and how materials like this are helping reduce environmental impact while improving performance.
