Type 1 Recycled Aggregate 0/32mm
Type 1 Recycled Aggregate is a crushed, recycled material made from concrete and hardcore.
✔ Size: 0mm to 32mm - excellent compaction and load-bearing performance
✔ Hard-Wearing & Durable – long-lasting performance under heavy loads.
✔ Recycled- reducing landfill waste and conserving natural resources.
✔ Cost-Effective Alternative – substitute for quarried Type 1 aggregate without compromising quality.
✔ Ideal for Sub-Base Applications – Perfect for roads and groundwork projects.
✔ Fast Easy delivery – loose loads or bulk bags
what is Recycled Type 1 Aggregate 0/32mm?
Type 1 Recycled Aggregate 0/32mm is a high-quality, sustainably sourced construction material created by crushing and screening recycled concrete, brick, asphalt, and other inert construction waste. The material is carefully processed to achieve a consistent particle size ranging from 0 to 32mm, making it ideal for use as a sub-base layer in a wide range of construction and landscaping projects.
This recycled aggregate is commonly used beneath roads, driveways, footpaths, patios, and hardstandings due to its excellent compaction and load-bearing properties. It provides a stable, firm foundation that helps to prevent surface movement, cracking, or subsidence over time.
Choosing Type 1 Recycled Aggregate offers a cost-effective alternative to quarried Type 1 aggregate, significantly reducing project costs while supporting environmentally responsible building practices. By repurposing materials that would otherwise go to landfill, it reduces the environmental impact of construction and helps conserve natural resources.
Despite being recycled, this material meets industry standards and specifications required for sub-base use in civil engineering, construction, and groundwork. It is a practical choice for both commercial contractors and domestic customers looking for a reliable, sustainable sub-base solution.
Where is Recycled Type 1 Aggregate used?
Type 1 aggregate is perfect for creating strong, stable sub-bases and capping layers in construction and civil engineering projects. It is also ideal for bulk filling and temporary access roads due to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
Sub-base for roads – Provides a strong foundation beneath tarmac or asphalt.
Driveways and private access roads – Durable under vehicle traffic and heavy loads.
Footpaths and walkways – Stable surface support for pedestrian areas.
Patios and garden paths – Ideal under paving slabs or decorative surfaces.
Car parks and hardstandings – Withstands frequent use and parked vehicles.
Shed and outbuilding bases – Ensures a level, compact foundation.
Groundworks and site preparation – Excellent for leveling and stabilizing uneven ground.
Trench fill and backfill – Efficiently fills excavated areas and supports infrastructure.
Temporary roadways or access routes – Great for construction sites and rural tracks.
