SUSTAINABILITY
The Benefits
Decarbonisation & sustainability are at the core of the Ecofill Circular Economy process which
inherently lowers costs and lowers carbon.
"Imagine if we could transform all that excavated material on site instead of
producing and importing fresh aggregates, significantly reducing lorry
movements, carbon and costs. Well now we can."
- Seb Love, Chief Technical Officer
Reusing clays & subsoils on site is the key to reducing carbon outputs and cutting construction
costs. The Ecofill methodology significantly reduces the need to export soils to landfill, and to
import aggregates. Compared to traditional methodology, Ecofill typically reduces lorry
movements and carbon emissions by over 96%.
Further contributing to cleaner air, there is also a reduction in Nitrogen Dioxide and other
harmful pollutants that are caused by the thousands of lorries that congest our roads every day.
This table demonstrates the significant savings from an example residential scheme.
