Choosing our recycled aggregates helps to support the local economy without damaging the local environment. Our recycled aggregates are certified to the Specification for Highway Works and meet industry standards. Our sand and gravel is high quality and comes with a low carbon footprint. By choosing recycled aggregates you will be supporting Scotland in its goal to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2045, achieving the Paris Agreement and fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Virgin aggregates come at a huge cost to the environment. They are a finite resource with a big carbon footprint. In Scotland, the construction industry is responsible for 50% of the country’s natural resource consumption, 40% of the total carbon emissions and 50% of its total waste. This makes the construction industry the biggest stakeholder in waste production and aggregates consumption, so it makes sense to do all that we can to preserve natural resources and recycle waste wherever possible.
