Wastecycle | Producing Environmentally-Friendly & Sustainable Aggregate Product

One of the East Midlands’ leading suppliers of recycled aggregates is now offering construction and civil engineering firms in Nottingham and Leicester a locally-manufactured, high-quality recycled material for use during building and roadworks jobs.

Toton Aggregates, a subsidiary of resource management and recycling company Wastecycle, launched its new Structural Materials for Reinstatement (SMR) product during an event that saw thirty industry leading professionals visit the company’s Nottingham recovery facility for an overview and demonstration of the new product.

Made on-site in both Nottingham and Leicester using a mobile Eco-Warrior specialist blending and screening plant, Toton Aggregate’s SMR can be used as a sub base for foundations, roads, car parks and trench reinstatements for new cables and pipes.

Paul Clements, Commercial Director for Toton Aggregates and Wastecycle,said: “Having been supplying the aggregate industry for a number of years, we’ve noticed SMR has grown in popularity as of late. We identified the opportunity to offer local firms a recycled substitute five times stronger than the granular sub base that is also much more environmentally sustainable.

“By investing in new equipment, Toton can not only offer pre-made SMR, but also an on-site manufacturing service for larger projects meaning no transport or landfill costs and lower carbon footprints.”

Manufactured by mixing inert materials and clay with a hydraulic binder and water, SMR provides construction teams with a stronger, more reliable sub base. This base reduces blacktop depth and eliminates sinkage, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced social disruption.

Toton Aggregates expects 10% of its total annual aggregate sales to be SMR.
