CDE’s TalkingTons Vodcast to Pioneer Conversations in Wet Processing
CDE, a trailblazer in wet processing solutions, has unveiled its latest initiative: the TalkingTons vodcast series.
This monthly series is set to delve into pressing industry topics, offering professionals a platform rich with insights and discussions.
A New Era in Industry Dialogue
On Tuesday, 4th March 2025, CDE released the inaugural episode of ‘TalkingTons’. This vodcast aims to shed light on subjects such as waste recycling, industrial sands, and water management. Hosted by Senior Marketing Manager Lauren McMaster, each episode features CDE experts from its five strategic regions, discussing industry challenges and opportunities.
Lauren McMaster shared her enthusiasm, stating: “At CDE, we share a common purpose to create our best world, a ton at a time. We have over 30 years of experience and unmatched expertise in the industry, and with that, we are passionate about not only delivering pioneering technology but sharing our expertise to support the creation of a circular economy.”

Episode 1: Rethinking Quarry By-Products
The debut episode brings together regional experts: Eunan Kelly (Europe), Regis Marty (France, Belgium, and Switzerland), and Garry Stewart (Ireland). The discussion centres on the evolving perception of quarry waste, highlighting how materials like overburden, scalpings, and crushed rock fines are now seen as valuable resources rather than mere by-products.
This shift not only reduces stockpiles but also extends quarry lifespans and offers environmental benefits by moving products up the value chain and reducing carbon emissions.
CDE’s Commitment to Knowledge Sharing
Beyond the vodcast, CDE has consistently demonstrated its dedication to industry education.
The company announced the return of its global virtual symposium, ‘Engineering Insights’, scheduled for May 2025. This event aims to bring together industry leaders to share experiences and expertise on various materials processing topics.
