- Originality: The work highlights the lack of commercially viable recycling options for contaminated drill cuttings waste from Oil and Gas Industry and proposes a novel re-use application through lightweight aggregate production. Rigour: The paper uses various analytical techniques to characterise the waste and evaluate the technological and environmental performance of the products according to the British Standards for lightweight aggregates. Significance: The research is concerned with the overuse of natural resources and the sustainable reuse of low value material resources and their diversion from landfill. This paper addresses the associated environmental concerns and demonstrates the technical feasibility of using waste drill cuttings to produce viable construction materials.
