Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund
The Department for Transport is a distributing body of the ALSF. It is using these funds to invest in transport projects which reduce the environmental impact of transporting aggregates.
The Aggregates Levy reduces demand for primary aggregates by increasing their cost and makes the use of recycled and secondary materials more viable.
The Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund uses some of the revenue from the Aggregate Levy to further address the environmental impacts associated with quarrying operations (noise, dust, visual intrusion, loss of amenity and damage to biodiversity).
