Purely for better stabilization

Ecological ash-based stabilization binder for infrastructure and environmental construction

EcoIntellect rebinders are made from carefully selected raw materials, which mainly consist of side streams generated in power plants, mining and construction industries.

EcoIntellect’s recycled binders have the lowest carbon footprints on the market. CO2 emissions are reported, both for manufacturing (A1–A3) and, if necessary, in accordance with the EDP (A1–A4).

Stabilization improves the reuse of low-quality soil and reduces the use of raw earth minerals and lowers logistics costs.

E65 – Finnish ash-based binder

The main raw material of the recycled binder is power plant ash generated in energy production (note, not waste incineration), gypsum and lime generated in industry, and slag generated in the steel industry. The binder can replace traditional building materials, such as burnt lime and oil-based foam bitumen.

The recipe of the binders is customized according to the customer, thus the weighting of the raw materials can also vary according to the objects.

The carbon footprint of E65 binders:

 E65 Basic:

The carbon footprint of binder production (A1-A3) is 107 kg CO2e / t

 E65 Low:

The carbon footprint of binder production (A1-A3) is 89 kg CO2e / t

The calculation has been made in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol’s product life cycle calculation and reporting standard.

The standard follows the life cycle approach defined by ISO LCA standards 14040 and 14044.

Uses of the recycled binder

Recycled binder is an innovative and environmentally friendly solution for several construction and renovation projects. Here are examples of its uses:

  • reinforcements of roadbeds
  • field structures
  • bottom reinforcements
  • reinforcements of peat fields
  • port construction
  • noise barriers
  • landfill structures
  • mine fillings
  • PIMA stabilization
  • treatment of sulfate-rich soils and
  • similar objects

When using recycled binder, it is important to carefully follow the work instructions given by the designer.

Stabilization

Why is it used:

Deep stabilization prevents the ground from sinking and improves its bearing capacity.

Where is it used:

Stabilization is used as a base strengthening method in the construction of roads and railways and municipal engineering, vibration damping and transition structures.

A cost-effective option:

Stabilization reduces construction costs by up to 40%.
