Earlier this month Recycl8 team members Mark Gillespie (CEO), Jim Young (Technical Industry Consultant) and Project Engineer Daniel had the pleasure of visiting the team at Ibstock plc.
Ibstock has been manufacturing cable trough production trial units for Network Rail using the sustainable technology firm’s R8Mix. The project is the result of Recycl8’s involvement with Scotland’s Lower Carbon Concrete Collective (LCCC), a partner ecosystem which is spearheaded by Scottish Water, with the aim of accelerating the development and adoption of lower carbon concrete solutions in Scotland.
The collective comprises Scotland’s main utilities companies including Network Rail, Scottish Power, Transport Scotland and SSE, as well as the country’s leading construction materials manufacturers such as Breedon, Marshalls and Ibstock.
CEO of Recycl8, Mark Gillespie, said:
“I’d like to extend our thanks to Steve Pugh and everyone at Ibstock for the warm welcome and the insightful site visit.
“We are delighted to be working with Ibstock and Network Rail as part of the LCCC. Being part of the collective gives us a fantastic platform to showcase the capabilities of our sustainable, Circular Economy lower carbon concrete technology. Collaborating with such high-profile strategic partners is absolutely key to unlocking the potential of our technology and driving down carbon emissions across our built environment and infrastructure.
“We are looking forward to seeing the units installed on site, and supporting Network Rail in exploring more sustainable infrastructure solutions.”
