In recent years there has been a greater emphasis placed on investing in new and existing sustainability practices across the construction industry, with many businesses employing mobile screeners as a way of supporting their recycling efforts.
The construction industry is a significant consumer of raw materials and natural resources, so it’s understandable to see the pressure being increased on businesses operating within the industry when it comes to developing more sustainable building solutions. One solution that can deliver immediate benefits is the use of recycled aggregate.
Recycled aggregates are derived from crushing and breaking down waste building materials such as concrete, to create a new, usable product. Mobile screeners form a key component of the recycling process when forming recycled aggregate, so in this article we’re exploring some of the benefits you can enjoy when you invest in a screener for your business.
How does a screener work?
A mobile screener is a self-contained plant machine that screens construction material before it is separated and transported to its next destination. The machine can be used on its own to screen topsoil or gravel, or it can operate alongside complementary machinery to produce recycled aggregate products. Mobile screeners come in different sizes depending on the material input and output size desired, with our 3-Way Screener one of the most nimble options available on the market.
The perfect companion for your plant
Construction companies with a focus on developing more sustainable operational practices should look to invest in a mobile plant recycling solution if they haven’t already. Working alongside a jaw crusher, mobile screeners offer a cost-effective and adaptable on-site solution for recycling waste materials, irrespective of the size or scale of the project.
Save on both money and time
So now you’ve invested in your machinery, you might be wondering what difference it can make to your bottom line. Recycling waste concrete, rather than purchasing new material, is an easy way to save money in the long run. Not only does it make your business more efficient and environmentally responsible, but it can also keep your projects within a tight budget. Businesses can also sell their recycled aggregate to fellow construction industry firms, creating a new and self-sufficient revenue stream.
Make a positive difference to the environment
The most important reason for investing in a mobile screener is the positive environmental impacts you can create. The intensive quarrying required to manufacture traditional aggregate can have damaging, long-lasting effects on the habitats of local wildlife and the wider natural ecosystem. Investing in recycled aggregate helps to reduce these impacts while minimising the amount of landfill space needed to store waste material – promoting a more sustainable and circular economy.
