Why Use Recycled Aggregates Over Non-Recycled Aggregates

WM Thompson & Son Ltd • Jan 30, 2024

In the modern construction landscape, the shift towards sustainability is evident. Recycled aggregates, offered by William Thompson & Son, are at the forefront of this change. These aggregates, made from materials like crushed concrete and asphalt products, provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional, non-recycled aggregates.


Here is why you should use recycled aggregates over non-recycled versions.



The Environmental Benefits of Recycled Aggregates

The use of recycled aggregates significantly reduces the environmental footprint of construction projects. By repurposing materials such as crushed concrete and asphalt products, we minimise the need for quarrying new materials, thereby conserving natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.


Quality and Performance

Contrary to some misconceptions, recycled aggregates do not compromise on quality or performance. At William Thompson & Son, our recycled aggregates undergo rigorous quality control processes, ensuring they meet the high standards required for various construction applications.


Cost-Effective Solutions

Opting for recycled aggregates can also be economically advantageous. They are often more affordable than their non-recycled counterparts due to lower production and processing costs. This cost-effectiveness makes them an attractive option for both large-scale and smaller construction projects.


Compliance with Regulations

Using recycled aggregates helps construction projects comply with environmental regulations and standards. By choosing these sustainable materials, companies can demonstrate their commitment to green practices, an increasingly important aspect in today's construction industry.
