Ecoblend® - Pioneering Sustainable Aggregates in Construction

Ecoblend^®, developed by Day Group, emerges as a pioneering brand leading the charge towards sustainable aggregates in construction projects. Currently distributed by Day Aggregates and GRS Roadstone, Ecoblend is set to transform materials resourcing in the construction industry.

With a focus on eco-conscious practices, Ecoblend delivers customers the opportunity to utilise sustainable manufactured aggregates, spearheading a shift towards environmentally responsible materials. The 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 ^[1] 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.”

To mark its launch, Ecoblend initiates an extensive awareness campaign and unveils a dedicated website offering comprehensive guidance and material calculation tools for customers in the building and construction industry.
