Aggregate recycling to benefit industry

South African aggregate producers are drawing up plans to formalise the aggregate recycling industry to ensure that previously used materials are given new life, in the best possible manner. The aggregate producers’ organization Aggregate and Sand Producers Association of Southern Africa (Aspasa) held a workshop on aggregate recycling earlier this year, where Aspasa director Nico Pienaar stated that the recycling of aggregates will become an important means of reducing the environmental impact of quarrying and construction.
