  • Completion date: August 2024
  • Architect: STOAS Architects
  • Products: RMG600+

Aldi's new 1.3 million sq ft distribution centre in Bardon, Leicestershire is one of the first major UK projects to use the . The building is Aldi’s largest distribution project to date, marking a step change in their approach to construction and acting as the next rung on their commitment to net zero by 2035. It represents Aldi’s lowest embodied and operational carbon per m2 distribution centre to date.

The scale of the building and the nature of the operation meant that carbon-intensive materials, such as steel and concrete, had to be used. But where possible low embodied carbon materials, including the Tate RMG600+ raised access floor, were specified.
