RECYCLED AGGREGATES AND THEIR ROLE IN MODERN INFRASTRUCTURE

In an era where sustainable solutions are not just encouraged but imperative, our construction industry not just in Manchester but globally has been evolving rapidly. One of the pivotal shifts in infrastructure development is the increasing use of recycled sub-base aggregates in road construction, recycled MOT Type 1 and Washed Recycled Pipe Bedding (Pea Gravel) to name a few.  With benefits ranging from robust strength to prolonged durability, these materials are shaping the roads of our future.

Why Recycled Aggregates?

The question arises: Why the surge in popularity for these recycled materials? Traditional road construction materials, though tried and tested, often come with environmental drawbacks. Their extraction, processing, and transportation leave behind a significant carbon footprint. On the other hand, recycled aggregates, sourced from repurposed construction, demolition, utility and highway waste such as renewal or old roads, are an environmentally friendlier alternative. By reusing materials, we reduce waste and conserve natural resources helping achieve a circular economy.

Strength and Durability: Built to Last

A significant advantage of recycled aggregates is their inherent strength. Materials such as MOT Type 1 Recycled sub-base and Recycled 6F5 are known for their robust nature, making them ideal for withstanding the daily wear and tear of heavy traffic.
