Recycled aggregates are not derived directly from virgin deposits, like primary aggregates. Instead, they have been used before and are not going through their first-use lifecycle.
Recycled aggregates are a material made from crushed and processed construction and demolition waste. After these building materials are cleaned, crushed, and separated from unwanted materials (like dust and soil), the waste is suitable for use in road construction, drainage, and landscaping applications.
These aggregates offer circular sustainability characteristics, without any reduction in quality.
