MOT Type 1 Recycled Aggregate & When To USe Them

MOT Type 1 recycled aggregate is a crushed and graded material made from recycled concrete, brick, and hardcore. It is processed to meet the Department for Transport specification for sub-base materials.

At Fawkes Recycling, our MOT Type 1 recycled aggregate provides a strong, stable foundation for a wide range of construction and landscaping projects. It is a proven alternative to virgin aggregates and is widely used across the construction industry.

When Should MOT Type 1 Recycled Be Used

MOT Type 1 recycled is designed to create a firm, load-bearing base. It is commonly used beneath surfaces that need long-term durability and strength.

Typical uses include driveways and access roads, patios and paving projects, hard standings and car parks, pathways and footpaths, and foundations for sheds, garages, and extensions.

Because it compacts well and drains effectively, it is ideal for projects where stability is essential.

The Benefits of Using Recycled MOT Type 1

Choosing recycled MOT Type 1 offers several advantages.

It is more sustainable than virgin materials, helping reduce landfill waste and the need for quarrying. It is cost-effective, making it a popular choice for both domestic and commercial projects. It meets recognised industry specifications, giving builders confidence in its performance.

For contractors and developers working across Derbyshire, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. It also supports environmental targets without compromising quality.

MOT Type 1 Recycled vs Virgin Aggregates

Recycled MOT Type 1 performs in the same way as traditional virgin sub-base materials when installed correctly. The key difference is its environmental impact.
