Tarmac has become the first major cement manufacturer in the UK to move to 50% recycled plastic in its packaging with the rollout of new all-weather, fully recyclable hybrid bags.
Gareth Osborne, senior marketing manager in Tarmac's Cement and Lime business, said: "Our Blue Circle products have a proud history of innovation and we're excited to launch these new eco bags which are a significant step in our sustainability journey, at the same time as providing the weatherproof and robust packaging that our customers want and need.
"As one of the leading packed cement manufacturers in the UK, it's important that we continually take steps to contribute to the circular economy. Increasing the amount of recycled content in packaging materials and helping raise awareness of how our bags can be recycled by customers is a key part of this."
