Short description: Sustainable development is one of the main issues facing the aggregates industry across the UK. A sustainable aggregates industry is an environmental necessity - but it also has much to contribute in terms of efficiency and profitability. Over the past six years, the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) has initiated a host of research projects that have generated a much better understanding of sustainability within the industry and the ways in which it can be achieved. The sheer weight of information now available to the industry’s managers and other key stakeholders can be daunting. This website seeks to distil some of the best projects into one easily-digestible pool of knowledge, through reviews of research on specific topics and a repository of project reports. This website provides access to the twelve reviews and facilitates links to related research and projects. The reviews have been grouped under four key themes: Theme 1 - Reducing the Environmental Effect Theme 2 - Sustainable Provision of Aggregates Theme 3 - Creating Environmental Improvements Theme 4 - Heritage
