Ecoblend, developed by the UK-based Day Group, is emerging as a pioneering brand of sustainable manufactured aggregates for construction projects.
Currently distributed by Day Aggregates and GRS Roadstone, the Ecoblend range includes crushed concrete, crushed asphalt, and a blended aggregate incorporating incinerator bottom ash (IBA).
At its core, Ecoblend champions sustainability through its flagship product, Ecoblend MA. Designed for a multitude of applications, including sub-base construction and road capping, Ecoblend MA represents a modern, sustainable aggregate for Type 1 and 6F5 applications. Blending refined IBA aggregate with natural crushed stone achieves high performance at a lower cost while reducing environmental impact.
This advanced manufacturing process not only diverts waste from landfills but also significantly cuts CO2 emissions. Every tonne of Ecoblend MA purchased saves 231 black bin bags of waste from landfills and reduces the need to quarry finite primary aggregate, thus conserving our precious natural resources.
Embodying its commitment to sustainability, the Ecoblend brand identity visually reinforces its focus on repurposing by-products from demolition, construction, and municipal waste through its trademark, representing supply continuity, the blending process, and the journey towards a circular economy. Complemented by the strapline “Sustainable aggregates for the built environment,” Ecoblend is committed to providing environmentally considerate aggregate solutions for the construction industry.
James Day, Managing Director of Day Group, emphasises: “Ecoblend epitomises our dedication to catalysing change and embracing sustainability in aggregates. As the industry shifts towards environmentally responsible materials, Ecoblend leads the way, inspiring stakeholders to adopt sustainable solutions.”
Ecoblend is running an extensive awareness campaign to mark its launch and has unveiled a dedicated website offering comprehensive guidance and material calculation tools for building and construction industry customers.
