Circularity in Construction

Sustainable Construction Materials
  • Protecting your environment

Preventing climate change, protecting biodiversity, reducing pollution and avoiding waste – a circular economy puts environmental protection above all else.

And so does MCM.

As well as being vital for the survival of our planet and its natural resources, adopting a sustainable approach and circular construction practices can help boost revenue, profit and a company’s ethical validity.

  • A simpler sustainable supply chain

Working with our partners across the UK, we help customers meet their challenges of achieving sustainable construction and legislative compliance. From demolition to resupply, we can help identify and remove waste, using established testing protocols and processes to classify, remediate, remove and recover.

Sourcing local to your site, for you – and for the environment.

  • Renewable, recycled construction materials

Handling demolition arisings and recovered construction waste, MCM operate a simpler supply chain for you, with a far-reaching nationwide network of partners in haulage; quarries; testing and certification; bagging; and waste recovery and recycling facilities.

We recognise, understand and tackle single-stream recycling for regional operations, city-based urban companies, large organisations managing multiple sites and individual contractors in the UK construction, civil engineering, highways, utilities and landscape industries.

Construction Waste MCM
circularity in construction
  • UK construction waste and carbon emissions
The UK currently consumes 600 million tonnes of products annually while generating about 220 million tonnes of waste. Not only do construction, demolition and excavation contribute about 60 per cent of this amount, but the built environment accounts for 45 per cent of the UK’s total CO2 emissions.

MCM use haulage partners with EURO VI vehicles as standard. These are the lowest emission vehicles possible within the current legislation with no loss of power but using less fuel. This means more efficient engines with less detrimental impact on air quality, and the height of compliance in London’s Low and planned Ultra-Low Emission Zones.
  • 25 years’ managing construction waste streams
MCM’s continuous commitments managing waste, monitoring legislation and securing strong links with legitimate, reputable waste sites across the UK have been pivotal in their successes in major civil engineering and construction site clearances. It frees up project timelines and budgets, ready for MCM to return with deliveries of fresh soils and aggregates.
