Heidelberg Materials has opened a construction demolition and excavation (CD&E) waste recycling facility in Leeds as part of its commitment to conserving natural resources and supporting the circular economy.
Accepted materials at the site, including bricks, concrete and soil, as well as selected wastes from utilities contracts, will be diverted away from landfill, processed and returned to productive use as recycled construction products.
The Leeds facility is one of several Heidelberg said it planned to open over the coming months as it continues to increase its capacity to recycle and reuse CD&E wastes.
GM Billy Benton said: “Our new recycling facility provides easy access for tipping a range of CD&E wastes responsibly and sustainably.
“In addition to being able to collect primary aggregate and asphalt from our Leeds site, builders and contractors can now also buy high quality recycled aggregates for use in their construction projects.”
