When it comes to recycling tar-bound materials, the UK finds itself far behind its European neighbours. However, in this podcast the three guests discuss the importance of using recycled materials when building and maintaining new assets, such as pavements and roads. They outline how the attitudes of local authorities, and contractors, are changing in the UK when it comes to using these types of materials due to rising costs, the climate crisis, and supply chain issues.

1. Find out how a local authority is utilising recycled materials in their roads and pavements
2. Hear from a client and provider perspective
3. Learn about why it is important to use recycled asphalt mixes to tackle climate change, as well as other key benefits
