When thinking about the journey to net zero construction in the UK, many people’s first thoughts are focused on cutting carbon in manufacturing and materials processes. While this will be integral, delivering a net zero industry will also require a fully decarbonised, multi-modal transport sector.   

Positive progress is being made across industry sectors in laying the groundwork for the UK’s 2050 net zero delivery target. However, a number of barriers and obstacles still lie in the way of construction projects when it comes to tackling the carbon challenge. 

Tarmac’s Mountsorrel Quarry has joined forces with local charity Love4Life to help provide support for young people aged 11 to 18.

From a dragonfly hotspot, wonderful woodlands and rich wildlife to tranquil lakes, regal history and the renowned Panshanger Great Oak, the Tarmac-owned Panshanger Park, located in Hertfordshire, has it all.

Tarmac has launched a specialist report, ‘Changing mindsets on aggregate reuse and recycling in the built environment’, which details the role of digital waste tracking in enhancing the future of CD&E (Construction, Demolition and Excavation) waste management.

Nestled in the heart of Nottinghamshire, amongst the towns and countryside, lies a testament to the power of environmental restoration, re-wilding and partnership.

Local quarry chargehand at Tarmac’s Aberthaw site, Martin Scamp, has achieved 45 years of service with the building materials and construction solutions business.

In a UK first for the construction materials sector, Tarmac, a CRH company, has trialled the use of biomethane fuel in a heavy goods vehicle (HGV) as part of the company’s ongoing drive to reach net zero.

Volunteers from the Midlands finance team at Tarmac visited the Peak District on a team building day to restore a collapsed wall with help from the Peak District National Park Rangers.

A nationally significant technical centre in Wolverhampton which created glow in the dark pavements and was the first in the UK to develop low carbon materials is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
