British timber and building materials merchant James Latham has announced a partnership with Honext, a manufacturer specialising in construction materials produced from industrial waste. The move marks a strategic shift for the established distributor towards circular economy products. Honext develops panel materials and building components using waste streams, positioning itself as an alternative to conventional timber products and sheet materials. For UK joiners and workshop operators, this could mean access to sustainable substrates through existing supply channels, though pricing and technical specifications remain to be clarified. The partnership signals growing demand for recycled-content materials in construction and fit-out projects.
