Waste

At CRH, we are committed to delivering a more resilient built environment, one that encompasses the principles of the circular economy.

As a leader in the use of wastes and by-products from other industries as raw materials and fuels in our processes and products, CRH sees the circular economy as a growth opportunity for our business and a cornerstone to delivering solutions for the future.

For decades we have been collaborating with industry partners and innovating to drive materials efficiency across the life cycle of our products and the buildings and infrastructure made from them.

95% of companies to have waste recycling programmes in place by 2030

Building on our leadership position in using waste and by-products from other industries, we are supporting the transition to a more circular economy by taking a collaborative, whole life approach to the design of products, buildings and infrastructure to eliminate waste, maximise resource efficiency and prolong the life-cycle of structures.

We are on track to achieve our targets:

• To embed circularity within our business, we set a target for 95% of our operating companies to have waste recycling programmes in place by 2030, which we are proud to say we have achieved.
