Dagenham Site Raring to go with Recycled Materials!

Concrete returned to the site is now being crushed and blended with primary aggregates to make a Type 1 sub-base material, which can be used under roads, paving and other similar projects.

The material is now available for customers located around the Northern Circular, in South Essex and the London Boroughs to buy, with around 10,000 tonnes expected to be sold in initial months. It will be especially useful for our customers whose supply has been impacted by the train strikes and other freight issues caused by the bad weather.

Not only is this an excellent example of how we can utilise recycled materials in our business, but we by capturing the waste from our own internal business we are therefore saving on external disposal costs. Well done to everyone involved in this project!

This is only the start of our Circular Economy endeavours at our Dagenham locations, with other actions underway; including some ambitious plans to create a recycling centre for the future – watch this space!
