Eco Sand
Our Eco Sand is a sustainable fine aggregate made from crushed, washed recycled glass, with a consistent 0/5mm grading. Manufactured from post-consumer waste collected through local authority recycling programmes, it offers a reliable, environmentally conscious alternative to quarried sand. Its uniformity, clean finish, and consistent grain structure make it suitable for a wide range of non-structural construction and landscaping applications.

Eco Sand Details and Specifications
Eco Sand Description
Eco Sand is produced entirely from recycled glass that has been collected, processed, and repurposed into a fine aggregate. Through washing and crushing, the material is refined into a clean, consistent 0/5mm grading that performs comparably to many naturally quarried sands.
As a manufactured product, it benefits from improved grading control and reduced variability, which supports predictable performance across different applications.
The smooth, granular structure of Eco Sand makes it a practical choice for general-purpose fill, pipe bedding, landscaping base layers, and other ground preparation works. While not typically used in load-bearing structural roles, its compaction characteristics and clean finish make it ideal for areas where consistency and environmental considerations are important.
As construction methods shift towards more sustainable sourcing, Eco Sand provides a cost-effective, lower-carbon alternative to traditional quarried sand. By reusing post-consumer glass, it diverts material from landfill and contributes to circular economy goals — all without compromising on practical functionality.
PMW Quarries supplies Eco Sand in loose, tipped loads for delivery throughout Huddersfield and West Yorkshire. Whether used in large-scale civil projects or smaller local developments, this recycled sand offers a dependable, eco-conscious solution to modern aggregate needs.
