Our Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS), a cement replacement, manufactured from a by-product of the iron-making industry.
Using one tonne of Regen in concrete reduces the
embodied CO2 by around 900kg, compared to using
one tonne of Portland cement, and also increases its
durability. Regen is more sustainable than other cement
substitutes such as fly ash.
In the UK, GGBS is usually supplied as a separate
component for concrete and is added at the concrete mixer.
It can replace 70 per cent or more of the Portland cement.
In British Standards, GGBS is referred to as an ‘addition’
and counts fully towards the cement content in concrete.
Regen conforms to BS EN 15167-1 “Ground Granulated
Blast furnace Slag for use in concrete, mortar and grout”
and is available throughout the UK, accompanied by a
full technical and logistical support package.
