AggRegain

The AggRegain service has been established by WRAP (the Waste and Resources Action Programme) to provide a unique ‘one-stop’ source of practical information on the use of recycled and secondary aggregates. It is a free service, designed to assist anyone interested in specifying, purchasing or supplying these types of products.

The information on the AggRegain site has been compiled from many different sources, including:

  • Detailed case studies illustrating the use of recycled and secondary aggregates in a range of construction projects, including housing developments, commercial buildings and infrastructure projects
  • Technical notes to assist in the specification of recycled and secondary aggregates
  • A comprehensive directory of over 250 suppliers of recycled and secondary aggregates
