Recycled and secondary sources of construction aggregates supplied 28% of total demand in Great Britain in 2018, well ahead of the European average. This is an ongoing success story for the mineral products industry and reflects the sector’s continued commitment to recycling and the circular economy.

In a new report, the Mineral Products Association estimates that in 2018, a total of 71 million tonnes of aggregates from a range of sources have been re-used in construction in Great Britain, 90% (64 million tonnes) of which originated directly from construction activity, through demolition work and road repairs.
