What is Wata?
Welcome to WATA (Washed Aggregates Trade Association). Representing UK aggregate wash plant operators, equipment suppliers and associated services, our mission is to promote and advance the critical role of washed and recycled aggregates in the UK’s circular economy. Join us and together we can create a strong, united voice for the washed aggregates sector.
ABOUT WASHED AGGREGATES
The washed aggregates sector is a vital yet under-represented part of the UK construction materials industry. While the UK leads Europe in the use of recycled aggregates, with 30% of the market comprised of recycled materials, the focus on washed aggregates remains limited. With the Government focused on the circular economy and meeting net-zero carbon targets and sustainability, the opportunity exists for our sector to grow and become a vital part of the UK construction landscape.
