With 200 million tonnes of aggregates used on large construction and smaller residential projects up and down the country each year, it comes as no surprise that many people are turning to recycled MOT 1 to help reduce wastage and protect the environment.
But as well as boasting impressive green credentials, why else should you consider using recycled MOT 1 for your next project?
Here’s a handy five-minute guide that explains the various benefits of recycled aggregates to help you make an informed choice.
Recycled MOT 1 saves you money
Regardless of whether you’re looking to reduce costs for your customers or maximise profits for your business, its hard to ignore the fact that recycled MOT 1 is a significantly cheaper sub base option than many of its unused raw material counterparts.
Add the fact that Staffordshire Waste Recycling Centre has plenty of this type of recycled material to offer to our local customers, then you also stand to save time and money on transporting recycled MOT 1 to your latest job too!
Durable and reliable
Recycled MOT 1 doesn’t mean a reduction in quality either, as this durable and robust material maintains its strength, and when mixed with concrete or cement, has an exceptionally long lifespan.
Even though this material is offered at a fraction of the price of unused or virgin aggregates, it still maintains its structural integrity and is fast becoming the sub base material of choice for many projects including patios, driveways, general bulk fills and even road construction.
Recycled MOT 1 helps protect the environment
Although we’ve touched on the green benefits of recycled MOT 1, it’s worth noting that this type of aggregate doesn’t create any additional harmful pollutants as its a by-product of the construction industry where no raw materials are used.
In years gone by, many of these used materials would have simply ended up in landfill, but as the world becomes more environmentally aware, almost 57 million tonnes of recycled aggregates are used each year in the UK alone making it a cost effective, reliable and sustainable sub base solution for a wide variety of projects.
