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 [1] 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.”
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.

One tonne of Ecoblend MA is equivalent to three tonnes of
municipal waste. Figures are based on waste having an average
density of 0.2 kg/l and black bin bags having an average capacity
of 60 litres per bag.
