Thomas Armstrong Group has launched the UK's first foamed glass aggregate manufacturing facility in Great Heck, North Yorkshire.

Foamed glass aggregate is made from recycled container glass, offering a sustainable solution for the construction sector. Cullet is cleaned, finely-milled and expanded to form a clean, low-weight and highly insulating material perfect for a wide range of construction applications; for use in foundations, drainage systems, green roofs and as an insulating material for buildings.
