SUMMARY

Low Carbon Materials is proud to be a Seaham-based company with a global vision. While we're committed to driving sustainable construction across the UK, we're equally dedicated to making a difference right here in our local community.

Our recent partnership with MGL Group and Durham County Council saw us decarbonize a local road using ACLA, our innovative carbon-negative aggregate. This project demonstrates our commitment to building a greener future, both locally and nationally.

“Building on our existing partnership with Durham County Council and LCM, we’ve delivered another resurfacing scheme - this time in Seaham - thereby rolling out the low carbon benefits of this innovation across the County.”

David Elliott

MGL Group’s Joint Chief Executive

"This new material continues to play a key role in helping the Council achieve its carbon reduction ambitions and, when used in conjunction with other sustainable materials, allows the delivery of road maintenance projects with significantly lower emissions than when using standard materials."

Alan Patrickson

Durham County Council’s Corporate Director for Neighbourhoods and Climate Change

"We're incredibly proud to be a Seaham-based company making a real difference in our hometown. Not only does it showcase the incredible potential of ACLA to revolutionise sustainable construction, but it also demonstrates our commitment to making a real difference in our own community. It's incredibly rewarding to see our technology being used to create a greener Seaham, and we hope it inspires other local authorities and businesses to take action.”
