What’s the difference between recycled aggregates and virgin aggregates?

Both meet all the same British Standards (‘BS EN 13242 Aggregates for unbound and hydraulically bound materials’ and ‘BS EN 12620 Aggregates for concrete’). Virgin aggregates are mined from quarries which is an energy-intensive process and harmful to the environment. Our high-quality recycled aggregate is repurposed from construction, demolition and excavation waste, which is beneficial to the environment. If you have any hesitations or questions, please feel free to contact us and we can talk you through our process and products or arrange a site visit.

All of our products are tested to British Standards for products and the Specification for Highway Works for application. This is in line with our quality management system that adheres to the WRAP protocol and SEPA guidance for the production of aggregates from inert waste.
