Recycling

As an industry leader of recycled construction materials, Lafarge's network of recycling centres process materials such as used rail ballast, concrete, asphalt, bricks and other demolition wastes. Once processed, the recycled aggregates can be used on their own, or in concrete and asphalt production.  All our recycled products are rigorously tested and processed to ensure high quality and performance.

Recycling construction materials
Lafarge leads the way in making good use of other "waste" products as secondary aggregates. This includes re-using by-products from other industries such as power generation or steel production as well as recycling millions of glass bottles every year.

There are hundreds of different types of concrete, each with different properties and uses
