A company in Yorkshire, United Kingdom, is set to pioneer a new process to recycle demolition waste for reuse in the construction industry. T K Lynskey Excavations Ltd is opening the £1.9 million plant ($3.451 million) later this week.
The new plant will take in construction, demolition and excavation waste that would otherwise be shipped to a landfill. The material is processed to produce high-quality aggregate to be sold for use in new construction projects, thus cutting the need for extraction of primary aggregate.
The project was made possible by a £570,000 ($1 million) grant from the Waste and Resources Action Programme, a not-for-profit company that promotes sustainable waste management by creating markets for recycled waste products.Latest from Recycling Today
