As part of our efforts to contribute to the Circular Economy, various materials such as scrap blocks, returned loads of concrete etc. that had built up over a number of years at Dove Holes were reviewed and identified as potentially recyclable.

In order to move fast and produce results we partnered with one of our key customers, Ashley plant, to campaign crush and screen the material. Through utilising Ashley plant’s experience and equipment we were able, at no cost to the business, to quickly produce a saleable fill material from what was a problem stockpile of waste material.

Ian Robinson, Sales Executive for Aggregates North West, commented: “Much of this material has now been sold to the local market direct by CEMEX thereby proving that a problem waste stockpile is in fact an opportunity, and just of one many ways to help meet our aim of being a sustainable Circular Economy business.”
