According to AggNet, the market for recycled aggregates continues to strengthen:
Latest industry findings from BDS Marketing Research, the leading consultancy for the heavy buildings materials sector, indicate that the market for recycled aggregates continues to strengthen. In 2018, estimated volumes produced at stationary recycling plants from construction, demolition and excavation waste reached 50 million tonnes.
Commenting on the latest findings, report author Andy Sales said: ‘We have seen further evidence of the importance of recycled aggregates to the construction industry in 2018. Growth over the last two years in their production has been in contrast to a fall in the output of primary aggregates over the same period. Recycled aggregates can represent a more sustainable, economic or local alternative to the use of primary materials.’
According to BDS, the market for recycled aggregates remains very fragmented with no individual producer holding a market share in excess of 5%. This is in contrast to the primary aggregates market where the leading five suppliers share around 70% of the market between them.
