Between 2003 and 2006, the production of recycled aggregates in England, some of which were concrete based, increased by 3.1%. Furthermore, of the 275 million tonnes of aggregate used in the UK per year, approximately 70 million tonnes are recycled materials. This demonstrates the visible trend in the industry toward sustainable construction processes and environmental preservation.

If your business hasn’t considered recycled concrete aggregate, now might be the time to come alongside competitors already innovating in this way. Rather than purchasing expensive virgin aggregates for your next project, why not consider recycled concrete from the team here at Smiths Construction?

One of the most important industries to need recycling is the construction industry.  There are firms who pride themselves on having specifically targeted waste treatment centres and recycling stations in the Milton Keynes and Newport Pagnell areas.  This requires a licensed site and the main aims are for sorting out builders’ skip waste and for the processing of other inert waste.  This in turn allows for the production of secondary aggregates which can then be re used in the construction industry.

By using these specialists, your recycling will be carried out in the best possible way.  Top quality equipment means that the very latest in screening and crushing equipment is used and therefore productivity will be maximised.  These processes mean that almost all waste can be transferred into re-usable building materials.

All businesses need to consider these issues.  Climate change and global warming are huge concerns and one way in which everyone is able to help is by ensuring responsible waste disposal is practised.  By disposing of waste safely, all materials that it is possible to reuse can be safely recycled, with the help of recycling Milton Keynes specialists.    Many such specialists also stock construction products that have been manufactured in a sustainable way, helping businesses to ensure as much of their supply chain as possible comes from sustainable sources.

Having our own Aggregates recycling facilities in Milton Keynes, allows us to maximise our reproductivity, by turning old waste in to new and usable materials for construction projects quickly and efficiently. Recycling old waste materials allows us to be self-sufficient. There’s no need to order new materials, which takes time, and therefore less cost effective.
Not forgetting the environment, having a recycling and treatment centre reduces the cost in production of brand new materials and therefore transport costs to distribute new materials to our sites. Recycling waste means that we aren’t filling up landfills and polluting the environment, but making use of existing and perfectly good aggregates and building materials.
