 Quarrying
 “At present, we are diverting 120,000 tonnes of construction and demolition waste from landfill annually. With the support of the CDE technology we are processing 100 per cent of material that comes into the site and converting it into saleable product.
“Sustainability is at the centre of our operation,” David said. “Our circular economy approach, backed up by an efficient CDE plant, is reducing reliance on scarce natural resources in Herefordshire and surrounding areas. Most primary aggregates available in the local market are imported and carry a high carbon footprint. Hereford Quarries is responding to the demand for primary aggregates with a locally sourced, high-quality, recycled product.”
David Kinloch, Regional Manager UK & Ireland at CDE, said, “Expert CDE engineers worked closely with the Hereford Quarries team throughout the design and commissioning process to not only understand what the business wanted to achieve from its plant, but to better understand the context of the local Herefordshire market.
“Since its commissioning in 2016, the cutting-edge wet processing plant at Hereford Quarries’ Lugg Bridge site has, in a short period of time, fundamentally revolutionised its recycled aggregates operation and has put the company at the forefront of championing sustainability throughout Herefordshire.
“The recycled aggregates producer is maximising resources and profitability while minimising environmental impact through water conservation, CO2 emissions reduction and, ultimately, diverting many thousands of tonnes of construction and demolition waste from landfill.”
   Hereford Quarries is a sister company of the Wye Valley Group, which also has operations in demolition, construction, skip hire, scrap metal and waste management including the handling of contaminated and hazardous wastes.
