Sustainability is being put front and centre in the construction industry and is becoming an increasingly important part of the procurement process.

At Gavin Griffiths Group, we’re proud to produce washed, recovered aggregates and to make businesses aware of it as alternative to virgin quarried stone. There are some major benefits of using washed, recovered aggregates including:
Economic Advantages
By using recovered aggregates in your next construction project, you could realise significant cost savings. The process of producing recovered materials is less energy-intensive than quarrying virgin stone which can result in lower production costs. If you’re construction project is in South West Wales, you’ll also benefit from lower transportation costs and you’ll be supporting the regional economy too!
Quality Aggregates
Our state-of-the-art wash plant in Cwmgwili ensures that our washed, recovered aggregates meet stringent industry standards. Our products go through rigorous cleaning and processing so that we’re producing environmentally friendly products that are also of high quality. We offer 0-2 and 2-4mm sand products, recycled Type 1, 10mm, 20mm and 40mm recovered aggregates, and 6F5 that all meet industry standards. Other products can also be manufactured to order and we can tailor our offering to meet your needs.
Supporting the Circular Economy
At Gavin Griffiths Group, we’re dedicated to promoting the circular economy by taking waste materials and turning them into a valuable resource that can be re-used. This approach reduces the need for new materials to be quarried, not only saving on cost but carbon emissions too. By using recovered aggregates, our customers are positioning themselves as leaders in sustainable construction practices which sets them apart from their competitors.
Versatile Applications
Our products are suitable for a wide range of construction applications. From providing foundational support in infrastructure projects, building roads and bridges through to acting as a drainage solution, our aggregates get the job done without compromising on quality. With our wide range of sizes from sand and topsoil through to various single-sized aggregates, we’ve got the materials to bring your project to life.
Environmental Sustainability
Using washed, recovered aggregates rather than virgin materials helps to preserve natural resources and minimises our impact on the environment. By repurposing waste material in this way, we’re also diverting waste from landfill and lowering our carbon footprint.
We offer a wide range of aggregate products in varying sizes for all kinds of applications. We deliver to sites all over South West Wales and can take waste material back to Cwmgwili to start the recycling process.
