Placing The Spotlight on Recycled Aggregates

How This Hardworking Material Can Benefit for Your Construction Projects

Recycled aggregates are becoming increasingly popular in construction due to their environmental and economic benefits. At Fawkes Recycling, we are committed to providing high-quality recycled aggregates that support sustainable building practices.​

What Are Recycled Aggregates?

Recycled aggregates are materials obtained by processing construction and demolition waste. These include items are concrete, bricks, and asphalt. Once these materials have been recovered, they are crushed and screened. They are then graded to determine their suitability for various construction applications. 

Environmental Benefits

• Resource Conservation: Using recycled aggregates reduces the need for extracting and processing natural resources. This helps to preserve these resources and the environment. 

• Waste Reduction: Recycling construction waste minimises the amount of material sent to landfills. This helps to promote a circular waste economy. ​

• Lower Carbon Emissions: The production of recycled aggregates typically requires less energy. This can lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Economic Advantages Of Recycled Aggregates

• Cost-Effective: Recycled aggregates are often more affordable than natural aggregates. This can provide cost savings for construction projects.

• Local Availability: Sourcing recycled aggregates locally reduces transportation costs. This helps to support the local economy.​
  

How Recycled Aggregates Are Applied in Construction

Recycled aggregates can be used in various construction applications, including:​

• Road Base and Sub-Base: Providing a stable foundation for roads and pavements.​

• Concrete Production: Incorporating into new concrete mixes for non-structural elements.​

• Landscaping: Utilising as decorative stones or for drainage solutions on construction sites.​

• Fill Material: Serving as backfill for trenches and other excavation projects
