“As part of our commitment to reducing the county’s emissions and achieving our net zero targets, we strive to be at the forefront of innovation in reducing our environmental impact. “We are pleased to be working with two county-based companies on this innovative project. This new material will play a key role in carbon reduction and, when used in conjunction with other sustainable materials, allows the whole project to be significantly lower in emissions than standard resurfacing works.”

“Working in partnership with Durham County Council and LCM, we’ve delivered a resurfacing scheme using net zero asphalt produced by Tynedale Roadstone and laid by Rainton Construction, both of which are part of MGL Group. The material incorporates a carbon negative aggregate and recycled asphalt planings from another scheme in County Durham, contributing to a circular economy and demonstrating our commitment to sustainable solutions.”

“I’m proud to have collaborated with County Durham pioneers, Durham County Council and MGL Group on this first-of-its-kind scheme to see ACLA used to unlock Net Zero asphalt. “LCM develops low-carbon, next-generation construction material alternatives to combat climate change - seeing ACLA used in such a project is significant for us and our mission. It presents a simple and scalable solution for the industry to decarbonise road networks.”
