Open Report OR/08/026
This report by BGS in partnership with the Centre for Economics and Business Research details the economic contribution which indigenously–produced primary aggregates make to the English economy. The report sets this contribution against estimates for the environmental costs of this production. It also makes a critical examination of the case for significantly increasing imports of primary aggregates from outside England. This research was funded by the DEFRA Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund administered by MIRO.
