Sand is a finite resource, and it’s running out. Today, population
growth and the pace of progress mean the world is devouring
sand like never before – 50 billion tonnes a year globally. This
demand is unsustainable. Together with our customers we have
already diverted over 100 million tonnes of waste material
from landfills and put it back into the materials market for use
in construction; protecting sand & aggregates in areas where
natural material reserves are in decline and enabling production
to happen closer to markets. We are minimising environmental
impact and laying the foundations for the circular economy, and
we need your help.
