520 _aThe Manufactured Aggregate Research Centre (MARC), a research plant based at the University of East London, has begun producing lightweight aggregates from waste materials usually destined for landfill such as ash, sludge and sewage. The environmentally beneficial process operates on energy generated from the waste. It is estimated that if adopted at an industrial level it could reduce the amount of landfill bound waste by up to 70% and contribute up to 10% of aggregate production for the UK market. http://www.rics.org/ricscms/bin/show?class=News&template=/includes/shownews.html&id=3579&faculty=Environment&faculty=All%20Faculties
