Our business concept
Via an environment and future generation focused approach, we offer our customers a technologically proven range of sustainable and circular products that are both organic and climate smart.
Our products should always be of a high quality, climate & environmentally smart, and help build long-term relationships – and reduce the use of non-renewable natural resources.
We recycle excavated spoil to create new usable materials.
Hummeltorp is part of the growing circular economy, where materials and products are reused instead of discarded. Filling materials such as gravel and sand are a limited natural resource. By recycling excavated masses, we can save money and at the same time reduce the ecological burden.
We take unprocessed spoil, clean and refine it in several steps before recycling them to constructions and fill material that often possesses superior properties and qualities than the original material. The secret is checking the origin of the spoil, as well as our technical know-how, efficient processes, and smart logistics.
Sustainability
We fully invest in a circular economy with a focus on sustainable and climate-smart recycling.
We reduce the use of non-renewable natural resources.
