We’re reducing our own environmental impact and helping our clients to do the same.
Having championed our ‘recycling the past for the future’ ethos for over two decades, sustainability has always been at the heart of our business.
Recycling the past for the future
Driven by a zero-waste-to-landfill commitment, we take your waste and make it useful again in construction by turning it into premium recycled aggregates and award-winning ready-mix concrete.
At the heart of our sustainability strategy are nine state-of-the-art recycling centres that can process one million tonnes of your waste each year. In 2022 we diverted 91.6% of waste from landfill.
Our journey to net zero
We recognise the urgency of responding to climate change and championing a greener, more sustainable future by:
Using new technology to measure and shape our carbon reduction actions
Repurposing waste for construction, saving 98.1% of CO2e in 2022 alone
Investing around £8m annually in fleet, plant, and vehicles and replacing them every five years to take advantage of more fuel-efficient models
Using sophisticated GPRS to track journeys to calculate emissions and minimise them where we can
Laying the foundations for an electric fleet with charging point infrastructure
Recruiting more locally to reduce miles travelled
Planting trees at our sites to absorb carbon and wetlands to create healthy ecosystems
Ensuring environmental compliance
You can rest assured that our recycling facilities operate in line with environmental permits and are accredited to ISO 14001. These industry-approved standards underpin our systems, processes, and operations.
