As the UK construction industry faces mounting pressure to reduce carbon emissions and embrace more sustainable practices, Foamed Glass Lightweight Aggregate is emerging as a forward-thinking alternative to traditional aggregates.

Produced from 99% recycled glass and now manufactured at the UK’s first and largest foamed glass facility, this innovative material offers exceptional strength, drainage, and thermal insulation—while also significantly reducing transportation emissions and landfill waste.

From road embankments and bridge abutments to green roofs and limecrete floors, its applications are diverse and growing rapidly across infrastructure, landscaping, and low-impact building.
