SUMMARY

Low Carbon Materials is proud to announce the successful completion of a new road surfacing project at Front Street, Sunniside, in partnership with Durham County Council and MGL Group. This project showcases the real-world impact of ACLA®, our innovative carbon-negative solution for asphalt.

By incorporating ACLA® into the asphalt mix, we were able to permanently remove 23,142kg of CO2e from the atmosphere – equivalent to the emissions produced by driving a typical petrol car for 141,110 km!

“MGL Group's continued partnership with Low Carbon Materials and Durham County Council reinforces our shared commitment to a sustainable future. By collaborating on further schemes, including our work at Front Street, Sunniside, where the Rainton Construction team is laying our net zero asphalt, we aim to decarbonise the built environment and create a lasting positive impact.”

This achievement underscores our commitment to providing sustainable solutions that significantly reduce the carbon footprint of road construction. This project is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving sustainable change within the construction industry.

"We're excited to be working with MGL Group and Durham County Council again, helping them achieve their sustainability goals. ACLA offers a simple and scalable solution for Local Councils to decarbonise their road infrastructure projects. This project showcases the power of collaboration to help decarbonise the built environment."
