Why Sustainability Matters More Than Ever in 2024

WM Thompson & Son Ltd • Jan 30, 2024

As we step further into 2024, the importance of sustainability in the quarrying and construction industries has never been more pronounced. At William Thompson & Son, we're not just witnessing this change; we're leading it. The use of recycled aggregates and eco-friendly concrete is not a fleeting trend but a necessary evolution for the well-being of our planet.


Our commitment to these sustainable practices stems from a deep understanding of their environmental benefits. Recycled aggregates, derived from construction and demolition waste, significantly reduce the need for virgin quarry materials. This not only preserves natural resources but also minimises energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with quarrying.
