In line with our Future in Action strategy of increasing the use recycled materials within our Vertua® range of more sustainable products, the Cemex UK Materials business recently held a webinar to understand more about our plans to increase the use of recycled Aggregates in our Readymix Concretes and also to learn more about some of the steps that are being taken to increase the consumption of recycled Aggregates.

In recent editions of UK News we have been delighted to share some great examples of where our businesses are working hard to increase their use of recycled materials.

This week congratulations go to our Readymix business which successfully made a significant step change in the increase of recycled Aggregate consumption since the start of 2024.

In the UK we currently have a total of nine plants (10% of the total number) consuming recycled Aggregates, with a number of other plants close to joining this total. In the graph you can see how July 2024 has been another record month, doubling the previous month’s total.

A huge thank you goes to everyone involved at the following Readymix plants: Hereford, Newport, Cardiff, Built Wells, Kettering, Pershore, Derby, Chesterfield and Ellesmere. Your efforts and passion in actively promoting a circular economy, is helping to achieve our Future in Action climate action strategy, to become a net-zero carbon emissions company by 2050.
