One vision, one range
Our global evoBuild range is characterised by clear sustainability credentials.
The future of sustainable construction
evoBuild is our global brand for low carbon and circular cement, ready-mixed concrete, aggregates, and asphalt products. To qualify, every evoBuild product must meet strict qualification criteria. These standards ensure that only products with genuine sustainability benefits are included in the evoBuild portfolio.
Through evoBuild, we’re setting new standards for sustainable building materials and leading the construction industry towards net zero and a more circular economy.
About evoBuild products
All evoBuild products have clear sustainability credentials. Only products that are low carbon or circular, or that feature a combination of both attributes, are included in the range.
Low carbon: Delivers at least a 30% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to standard reference values*.
Circular: Incorporates a minimum of 30% recycled content or reduces material requirements by at least 30%.
For confidence in materials that contribute to a more sustainable construction industry, choose evoBuild.
*The evoBuild reference value is at least 30% in CO2 reduction vs the global reference values from the Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) for CEM I from 2020, which translates to ≤552 kg CO2/tonne cementitious material and ≤ 5.5 kg CO2/m3/MPa for ready-mixed concrete.
Article: Delivering carbon reduction in concrete
The world needs smart, sustainable and resilient infrastructure. But challenges like climate change and limited resources mean that the production and use of heavy building materials needs to evolve.
evoHub
Our evoHub is the place to learn about how heavy building materials are being decarbonised.
evoBuild Low Carbon Concrete
Our low carbon concretes offer a CO₂ reduction of at least 50% compared to a fixed Global Cement and Concrete Association (GCCA) reference value*. It complies with BS 8500 and BS EN 206-1 and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.
evoBuild low carbon GGBS
evoBuild low carbon GGBS is the tried and tested option for delivering and meeting sustainable construction goals in any concrete mix. Replacing one tonne of Portland cement with one tonne of evoBuild low carbon GGBS reduces embodied CO2 by around 650kg.
evoBuild foamed asphalt
evoBuild circular foamed asphalt is a cold mix asphalt containing up to 95% recycled materials, reclaimed fillers/additives, bitumen, cement, and water. It can reduce the carbon emissions associated with asphalt production and laying by a minimum of 40% when compared with conventional hot mix materials.
Raising standards, not emissions
High performance
Every evoBuild mix is designed to maintain strength, durability, and workability while reducing environmental impact.
Applications
All products are suitable for a wide range of projects, from infrastructure and residential buildings to specialised industrial flooring.
Availability
Our extensive UK fleet and plants ensure a consistent and reliable supply of evoBuild concrete nationwide.
How we classify our low carbon building materials
We’re the first company in the heavy building materials industry that uses globally standardised criteria to label sustainable products, including low carbon cement, recycled aggregates, and ultra-high-performance concrete.
The consistent evoBuild tiering is based on our sustainability strategy and significantly increases transparency towards our customers and stakeholders.
This is an important step towards achieving one of our key targets on the way to net zero as we aim to generate 50% of our revenue with sustainable products by 2030.
Dr Nicola Kimm, Chief Sustainability Officer
Products must comply with our internal ESG procedure, which sets out strict qualification standards. These standards ensure that only products with genuine sustainability benefits are included in the evoBuild portfolio.
CPD presentations
We can provide you with a full Continuous Professional Development (CPD) presentation on the specification and use of evoBuild low carbon GGBS and other cement substitutes in sustainable construction. Contact us below to request more information or to book a CPD presentation.
Other evo-products
Our wider evo-products are defining new standards for integrating sustainability into cement production and have set a pioneering benchmark for carbon capture.
evoZero
evoZero is the world’s first carbon-captured near-zero cement produced by Heidelberg Materials. We use carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in Brevik, Norway, to achieve its near-zero status.
Production of evoZero cement will be possible in the UK by 2029 at our CCS facility in Padeswood, north Wales, delivering another significant milestone in the decarbonisation of the construction industry.
