Duration: 2hr
We’re pleased to announce that the Excavated materials – reuse, recycle, recover, dispose or extract? webinar will take place on Wednesday 28th January 2026 (11-1pm) at a cost of £45 inc VAT and £35 inc VAT for registered SiLCs.

When is a bucket excavator load of excavated material a product and when is it a waste?
The material may be in the wrong place or it may be wanted more somewhere else. The end result is the same – a hole at the point of origin and a location for using the bucket load.
So why do we call one bucket load primary aggregate and the other “waste”?
Would a circular approach require changes in primary legislation or better use of existing laws?
Join SiLC as we dig deeper into the regulatory quagmire of excavated material regulation and imagine a smarter future.
