Shaping the future of sustainable infrastructure

Working in collaboration with the energy from waste and global construction industries to transform Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate (IBAA), often destined for landfill, into a high performing, lower carbon concrete solution.

We are resolute in our mission to not only make a difference to the lives of people today but to also leave a legacy for future generations and the planet we live in.

Our
Mission

We don’t want to green offset, we aspire to be the real deal.

By remaining true to our values of inclusion, sustainability, responsibility and ambition, Recycl8 is building a socially and environmentally conscious company committed to the Circular Economy and net zero goals.

Our aim is to be a leading sustainable business, trusted and respected for the ethics we adopt and for the services we provide.

As a progressive organisation, we are resolute in our mission to reduce carbon emissions from concrete manufacture.  We work closely with our partners in the energy from waste and construction industries to build a more sustainable future for our planet.

Our breakthrough technology repurposes Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate into a lower carbon, high performance solution for concrete manufacture and accelerate our  collective long-term responsibilities to reduce global CO2 emissions.

With a team comprising specialists from the waste management, construction and global business sectors we are ideally placed to address this challenge now.

Our
Process

  • Household and Commercial waste produced
  • Waste is collected
  • Household and Commercial waste incinerated
  • IBA is processed producing uniform product with known mineral content
  • IBA is processed extracting ferrous and non-ferrous metals
  • Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) goes through maturation process whilst sequestering C02
  • R8 catalyst added
  • IBAA (Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate) sold as a low carbon additive for cement to make concrete products

Key benefits

  • We Recycle - We upcycle ash from Energy from Waste facilities, turning it into a valuable material and significantly reducing landfill waste.
  • We Reuse – Our innovative process gives ash a new purpose in construction, replacing virgin materials and reducing the need for high carbon cement.
  • We Remove - Our technology transforms the ash into a stable, safe material that can be used confidently in the built environment.
  • This isn’t about offsetting - it's a real, impactful solution that drives the Circular Economy forward.

Our
Technology

Reducing your carbon footprint one step at a time.

Our patented technology takes Incinerator Bottom Ash Aggregate from energy from waste operators, which is often destined for landfill, and transforms it into a lower carbon additive for concrete manufacture.

By replacing high CO2 emitting cement and other virgin quarried materials, we work with manufacturers to reduce their carbon footprint and achieve their climate targets.

Our process absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere. What’s more our technology ensures heavy metals are bonded, preventing leaching and further pollution both now and in the future.

Its environmental credentials are impressive, but our lower carbon R8Mix also performs on a practical level. It not only bonds with more strength than traditional cement, but also has less permeability. Our technology also significantly enhances the heat resistance, physical and chemical properties of the cement.

It’s a win-win process.

Energy from Waste facilities can avoid sending their ash to landfill and cement manufacturers can offer a significantly reduced carbon footprint, to our ever-growing sustainable built environment.

Our
Team

A team of industry specialists with sustainability at its core.

Recycl8 was founded with a clear mission: to make a lasting contribution to the Circular Economy.

Our team has grown to encompass highly respected specialists from a spectrum of industrial sectors. We are united in our common goal to bring our game-changing technology to the global marketplace.

We’re working hard today on a sustainable solution for the construction and waste management industries, that will preserve our tomorrows.

Our people
“Breedon is proud to have supplied the first structural concrete in England using IBAA aggregate with Recycl8’s R8Mix.

Our teams developed a C40/50 concrete with structural fibre, IBAA, and our Hope CEM II/A-L cement. This combination created a lower-carbon concrete used for an industrial storage area housing IBAA.

With our Ling Hall plant located near the IBAA source, we kept transport emissions low. Having proven this in both Scotland and England, we are excited to support Recycl8 on future projects.”
