Special Products.

Toptrec is one of Tarmac Recycling's innovative products arising from a solution to a particular customer's needs.

It won the title of 'Recycled Product of the Year' in 2000 at the National Recycling Awards - an awards scheme designed to promote waste reduction, re-use, recycling and sustainable waste management.

Toptrec is a 100% recycled pathway material made from selected waste products from highway reconstruction and maintenance works.

It is usually 20mm down, has good compaction properties, is user friendly and provides an inexpensive, but durable footpath surfacing, especially in rural situations.

Finepath is a combined wearing course and basecourse sustainable surfacing solution, which can be easily laid manually.

It was developed in response to a British Waterways request for an alternative material to the 'black ash' surfacing typically used on canal towpaths.

Finepath has shown an improved resistance to frost-heave, compared to black ash and is also less susceptible to segregation compared to unbound materials.

This environmentally-friendly surfacing solution can now be seen on many of the country's footpaths and towpaths.

Working together.

Tarmac Recycling has established effective customer and supplier partnerships with many local authorities, utilities and developers and is committed to providing a reliable and value-added service.

Tarmac seeks to continuously develop these partnerships, extending new services and products to meet the industry's demand for sustainable construction solutions.

The aim is to ensure that every customer receives a highly responsive and reliable service, delivering high quality products.
