A UK trial led by the Materials Processing Institute has demonstrated the feasibility of using recycled concrete fines (RCF) to replace approximately 20% of clinker in CEM II cement, significantly reducing its carbon footprint. Conducted at Holcim UK’s Whetstone plant, the trial is part of the UKRI's 'Decarbonising Concrete' programme and involves key industry players like Mott MacDonald and Aston University. RCF, traditionally a waste product, is now poised to become a sustainable alternative, pending further testing and integration into British Standards BS 8500 by 2027.
JCB's Fastrac 6300 has been awarded the 'Sustainable Tractor of the Year' at Agritechnica, the world's largest agricultural machinery show. This high-power tractor is recognised for its industry-leading features and performance, combining advanced technology with sustainable practices. The award highlights JCB's commitment to innovation in agricultural machinery, as the Fastrac 6300 sets a new standard in balancing power and environmental responsibility.
