Recycled aggregates
Recycled Aggregates can be sourced from a variety of material: arising from construction and demolition (concrete, bricks, tiles), highway maintenance (asphalt planings), excavation and utility operations. They can be purchased from demolition sites or from suitably equipped processing centres. The quality of the recycled aggregate is dependent on the quality of the materials that are processed, the selection and separation processing used, and the degree of final processing that these materials undergo. There are two methods of producing recycled aggregates: in situ at the site of the arisings, or ex situ in a central plant. Major cost savings can be achieved by in situ production of recycled aggregate, including transport costs and the accrual of the environmental benefits of reducing lorry movements.
