Technical Author in Cookstown

We are CDE, here to create our best world, a ton at a time. Sand is a finite resource, and it is running out. Today, population growth and the pace of progress mean the world is devouring sand like never before, 50 billion tonnes a year globally. This demand is unsustainable. Together with our customers, we have already diverted over 100 million tonnes of waste material from landfill and put it back into the materials market for use in construction; protecting sand and aggregates in areas where natural material reserves are in decline and enabling production to happen closer to markets. We are minimising environmental impact and laying the foundations for the circular economy.

At CDE, we work across the natural processing and waste recycling sectors, in five regions, to pioneer industry-leading, world-changing engineering solutions. Our headquarters are in Northern Ireland, and we have offices in the USA, Australia, Austria, and Brazil. For over 30 years, we have relentlessly innovated and co-created wet processing solutions, completing over 2,000 global projects, and we are only getting started. Our purpose is to create our best world, a ton at a time; empowering our customers to transform their materials into valuable resources for the betterment of people, planet, and their bottom lines.
