The “branding” is the problem, this is not a waste product, its not a recycled product. Its a primary product, Its a low grade of crushed granite, as dan said, needs testing and selling for what it is. Recycled material is crushed concrete/brick, road planings etc.
He may have been misguided as to calling this a recycled product when its reprocessed byproduct, like marmite is, but the fact he's thinking about it, and thinking about how to make his business and industry more sustainable is a good thing. Hopefully he gets into looking at a real recycling plant for aggregate soon.
It IS waste product. He even said near the start that normally most of that separated stuff is thrown away, hence being waste. You're right that it's not recycled - it's repurposed. Which is just as important a step to reducing carbon footprint and general waste as recycling. It's part of the whole Recycle, Reuse, Repurpose ethos, all of it positive and to be encouraged!
Love all this.i love being a tipper driver it's all interesting to me going to different quarry's seeing everything being recycled then delivering to building sites
As they say “one man’s waste is another man’s gold”. A very interesting set up, thank you for sharing this. We certainly need to be doing more for the next generations betterment. It would be interesting to see what is planned for the restoration of the quarry after all valuable materials have extracted.
Back in the 1960s the clay from the Victoria Line tube tunnels went to a disused clay pit, then it was used to make bricks. The brickworks and pit was purchased by a haulage company who had signed a contract to haul away all the tunnel spoil. Very clever recycling.
Really interesting video Dan. I work in the construction industry. The waste on building sites is ridiculous and things need to change. Looking forward to Ashville weekly on Sunday.
Excellent video as always Daniel. I’ve noticed you’ve increasingly mentioned about lab tests. Would be interesting if you could do a video of the labs and the process used for testing and certifying different construction materials.
This man has a goal. Not only for him self but for the sake of this planets future. Aiming for renewable energy is definitely a step in the right direction.
Iam a plasterer and have always wondered how good it would be to recycle excess material at the bottom of a pale its not always alot but over the year would quickly add up cheers big man great video 👍
@@talhafarook1902 They are not using hydrogen in fuel cells they are just burring it directly just like diesel is used currently. if you want some more information Harrys farm did a great video on the subject (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wDKLoLUQgH0.html)
This should have been happening decades ago but it's nice to see we are moving forward with sustainability. Many businesses see it as a headache unfortunately.
did you realize all those wash plant machines with the exception of the mobile plant were made in factories less than 20 miles from each other in Northern Ireland, the epicentre for screeners.
There’s something really satisfying about this. It also looks like £20M worth of machinery! I know farming isn’t your bag but a video on regenerative farming and saving soil nutrients would be cool.
Check out Harry's Farm videos. Harry is doing just that testing all the different fields soils on his land, even different parts of the same field. He busted the end of soil life theory the government is talking about.
Great system and wash plant, We run and process waste through a MRF and biomass and have a crushing plant for the rubble/construction waste. The crushed material then goes out as Cat2b, that is a recycled product. This video the products should not be classed as the same, needs tested and sold for the true product and potential that it is, primary/ recycled byproduct. Insightful video as always! A video suggestion could be more on what you do with the waste from the waste management side, i know we have a lot of people and customers ask about what actually happens to it.
Good call Daniel. Your heading the right direction, big investment but could be a good runner for the business. Local company Dan Morrissey’s put in a concrete reclamation plant, … seemingly a good operation
I've always wondered if there could be a process to recycle tyres, separate the inner metals and fibers from the rubber and use the rubber to creat flooring, roofing or new tyres
Great episode. You do have to be careful though. Our County in the US substituted broken up concrete for granite in our dirt roads. One problem - the large pieces vibrate out of the material and end up on top as potential projectiles
This man works ridiculous hours including weekends to show us inspiration and ways to do things properly hence no expense spared. He could quite easily retire and spend more time with his family but he keeps all them people employed and others from different companies. People get jealous…. Ok let’s see you do what Daniel has done from scratch!!! Utter trolls who need to work rather than waste UC credit payments on internet because they “can’t” in life and too lazy. If you can’t do it, don’t pick on people who can you lazy glue stickers!!
Awesome presentation. I have had an interest in recycling construction excavation materials for resale. I would like to know who is the supplier of the wash plant systems. Some systems look like Terex, CDE Enviro and Bruce. Thanks👍
You know all these technical terms even though you haven’t got a degree in construction, you occupy a large amount of construction and know all this knowledge, how may I ask because it’s never in front of you
Wow fantastic system there!! Would love to work there just for it’s location as much for it’s systems!! Disappointed no mention on the loading shovels 😪 very nice kit also!!
It's a scam Dan....It's primary material as much as the stone from the quarry yours comes from. You know what else it does? It actually harms the development of real recycled materials especially in Cornwall where you can't compete against this material. It should have the aggs tax attached.
One day I will meet this guy and I will shake him by the hand his content is always onpoint frighty will the hole team have succeeded in creating a awesome RU-vid channel
The plant doesn't look Fitter/ Maintenance friendly lot of plant up in the air Product looks very abrasive hope they've got a good Maintenance programme in place
As a HGV mechanic I don't agree on heavy vehicles being all electric it's worth it the future is in hydrogen powered vehicles and Scania leading in the industry in this this is why I wouldn't buy a all electric HGV as they're miles wouldn't get to were you need to go compered to a ice engine or hydrogen powered
How about a day in the life of an Asheville skip driver. Let us see what happens to the building waste collected by Asheville. Is it sorted and reused some how or sent to land fill? Be interesting to see and great way to show how Asheville are doing their bit.
the biggest barrier to recycling and reclamation is peoples attitude i work with commercial and industrial cleaning equipment and businesses are reluctant to change. there are times when good secondhand machines are sent for export or scrapped when with a little work and time can get them back out there working. it also doesnt help that you get these fly by night companys come along sell totaly the wrong thing that customers want they have a bad experience and that puts them off secondhand machines. everybody wants to be more sustainable and recycle but they dont seem to do anything when the oppotinity arises with the right people with the right machines in the right places the sustainable option should be the cheaper and better option but it not at the moment.
2 million might seem like a big investment but in my area in surrey the companies that have these are selling the end product at an average of £20 per ton, it doesn't take long to get your money back & most councils have to spec a percentage of recycled aggregates on all thier projects
Perhaps this is the future for Ashville? Daniel use your influence, of which you have more that you realise, to create a more sustainable and acceptable future for the construction industry
Another great video from the Ashville team. I see you mentioned China clay aka Kaolin. Have Ashville/Daniel seen or heard about Andromeda Metals? They produce halloysite kaolin helping move to a more sustainable future. Basically they have found a way of by using the halloysite kaolin to help concrete set quicker, faster and stronger! It will be a game changer in the industry... They are also big on carbon capture and the CEO James Marsh is a really likeable bloke. I think you should reach out, as a feature on carbon capture would make a great follow up video. Have a quick google to find out more...
Another great video Daniel love your videos man I’m a Roadworker been resurfacing roads for over 20 years and we have trialled using recycled type 1 and have to say it absolute rubbish material if truth be told but it’s the way it’s going to go
It's not really recycled is it, it's over bourdon. From excavation for the primary goal China clay, I'd call recycled old concrete blocks etc that's has been repuposed, crushed and re used,
I've been watching recycling in the US. There they are crushing reinforced concrete and separating the metal and sorting the various sizes of concrete for size 1 down to fines.
