Building a circular economy in the heart of historic French cities
Global construction & demolition waste will almost double by 2025, generating 2.2 billion tonnes of rubble every year. Recycling of construction materials — and especially recycling aggregates — can make a substantial contribution to resource efficiency and sustainable urbanization. aggneo® closes this loop in the circular economy, helping our customers manage construction and demolition waste sustainably and turning them into aggregates.
