Context

Ambiances TP is a public works company based in the Hauts-de-France region, specialized in road construction and utility networks. Aware of the environmental impact of its activities, the company has made waste reduction and material recovery a top priority.
To limit the extraction of natural resources and reduce its carbon footprint, Ambiances TP has developed a strategy focused on recycling and the use of materials sourced from deconstruction.

Objectives

Reduce the environmental footprint of construction sites.
Reuse and recycle materials from construction sites (concrete, rubble, asphalt).
Increase the use of recycled products on projects.
Develop and deploy low-carbon concrete solutions incorporating recycled aggregates.

APPROACH

Ambiances TP has chosen to place circular economy principles at the core of its operations, developing concrete solutions to minimize the environmental impact of its worksites.
The company prioritizes the use of recycled materials, which can represent up to 90% of the total volume used. Rubble and concrete from deconstruction are systematically sorted and crushed to be reused directly on site. This process reduces dependence on virgin resources and decreases the amount of waste generated.

At the same time, Ambiances TP is experimenting with and using low-carbon concrete, made with recycled aggregates. Integrating these innovative materials contributes to lowering CO₂ emissions associated with construction, without compromising the quality or durability of the finished works. The company also applies strict monitoring procedures to ensure the compliance and performance of reused materials.

Through these initiatives, construction waste is transformed into valuable resources. This approach not only improves material management but also supports the ecological transition of the public works sector, positioning Ambiances TP as a committed and pioneering player in circular economy practices within civil engineering.
