INDUSTRY LANDMARK👷♂️🪨🏗️♻️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿: In a landmark project for the English construction industry, the first lower carbon concrete solution from sustainable technology firm Recycl8 Ltd and construction materials company Breedon Group plc has been laid at Veolia's Ling Hall incinerator bottom ash (IBA) processing site in Warwickshire. Veolia and Danish recycling pioneers Meldgaard's joint operation at Ling Hall is processing IBA from the nearby Battlefield Energy Recovery Facility to produce 50,000 tonnes of secondary aggregates annually. This material is managed by Meldgaard and combined with Breedon's specially designed concrete mix with Recycl8's R8 Mix to deliver a high-performance, lower-carbon alternative to traditional concrete.    The IBAA/R8 concrete solution has been successfully laid on the extension pad at Veolia Ling Hall by TG Beighton. This initiative, the first of its kind in England, was undertaken with full permission from the Environment Agency (EA) as part of a collaborative effort to push the boundaries of sustainable construction.

Hot on the heels of the announcement of our involvement in the construction of the Energy Transition Zone Ltd, we’re thrilled to tell you about another landmark project we’ve been working on. Together with Veolia, Breedon Group plc and Meldgaard, we’ve delivered England’s first-ever pour of low-carbon IBAA/R8 concrete at Veolia’s Ling Hall Incinerator bottom ash processing site in Warwickshire. Breedon’s specially designed concrete mix, combining Meldgaard’s Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (IBAA) with Recycl8’s R8 Mix, provides a high-performance, lower-carbon alternative to traditional concrete. With support from the Environment Agency, this project proves the real-world potential of circular economy solutions in reducing carbon footprints. Pushing boundaries, driving change. #Sustainability #LowCarbonConcrete #CircularEconomy #ConstructionInnovation

At the start of the new year, it's interesting to see the trends that are predicted to take off within our industry👷♂️While it is very much more than a trend, it is great to see that sustainable construction is continuing to grow. Key focuses in this area include adopting innovative technologies that can improve built infrastructure and more importantly, how they last for generations to come. According to PBC Today, green concrete alternatives are leading the way in sustainable materials and have become a transformative element of the construction process. If you're looking for eco-friendly kerbing and combined drainage alternatives using recycled polymer materials for your next construction project, take a look at our website to see how Duraproducts can help: Duraproducts.co.uk Read the full article by PBC Today below:  https://lnkd.in/eHCBPu7d #Sustainability #Duraproducts

#FuturePrediction - 105 In the Future, fossil-free construction will replace traditional building methods with materials like fungi-based bricks, recycled carbon, and plant-based cement. I’ll call this “EcoBuild Revolution.”

New MC aktiv 2/2024 is published The main feature of our customer magazine’s second issue of 2024 highlights the crucial role that sustainability plays in the construction industry. It shows MC’s commitment to a future of sustainable construction by developing cement-free and cement-reduced concretes and mortars. In addition, our MC aktiv once again offers an interesting and inspiring mix of innovations, projects and internal news from the world of MC-Bauchemie. For years, the issue of sustainability has played a key role in the construction industry – and cement manufacturing in particular is increasingly becoming the focus of attention due to the CO₂ emissions that it causes. While cement will continue to play a central role in the future, there is growing interest in sustainable alternatives. Cement-free concretes and mortars from MC-Bauchemie can reduce the carbon footprint by up to 75%. MC is at the forefront of research in this area and is already developing tomorrow’s standards for today with new technologies and sustainable solutions. #mcbaunordic

💡 Fact of the Day: Did you know that concrete is the second most consumed material in the world, right after water? 🌍 Every year, the world produces an astonishing 4 billion tons of concrete to support the construction of homes, infrastructure, and cities—essentially shaping the foundation of modern society. However, this remarkable material comes at a cost. The production of concrete, particularly cement (a key ingredient), accounts for nearly 8% of global CO₂ emissions. As the construction industry continues to expand to meet growing urbanization and development needs, the environmental impact of concrete production cannot be ignored. 🏗️ At SIECORP, we believe in driving innovation to address these challenges. The push for sustainable alternatives is stronger than ever, with advancements in: 🌱 Green Concrete: Using recycled materials, industrial byproducts, and lower-carbon cements. 🌎 Carbon Capture Technologies: Reducing emissions directly from cement production processes. 🔄 Circular Construction: Promoting the reuse of demolished concrete as aggregates for new builds. As a key player in the construction industry, we’re committed to adopting and supporting sustainable practices that balance progress with environmental responsibility. The journey toward greener building solutions is a shared responsibility—and every step counts. What are your thoughts on sustainable construction practices? How can we collectively reduce the environmental impact of materials like concrete? #SIECORP #ConstructionFacts #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #InnovationInConstruction
