Good to see Dura Composites getting a nod for low carbon walkways. It is a small detail in the grand scheme, but reducing embodied carbon in infrastructure is where the real work happens.

Agreed. The question is always about the lifecycle cost and durability compared to traditional materials. If these walkways actually last longer and cost less to maintain, that is the real win.

The sustainability category in these awards is a decent signal, but I would like to see the actual metrics they used for the selection. Sustainability is a broad term. Was it based on absolute emissions reductions or relative intensity?

Foxway does a lot of circular work. I wonder if their scaling is hitting any bottlenecks with waste regulation or transport logistics in the Essex area. That usually limits these types of operations.
