Sustainable Construction Solutions
Our premium Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS) can replace between 50% to 80% of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) within Concrete materials.
Introducing our NEW Low Carbon Concrete with up to 80% less CO2
With Concrete manufacturing contributing approximately 8% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, Mick George Concrete have developed EnviroMix an eco-friendly alternative to traditional Concrete, which can reduce the CO2 emissions by up to 80%, while offering the same high performance quality and reliability associated with our standard Ready Mixed Concrete applications.
EnviroMix uses Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBS), a by-product of the iron and steel-making industries as a replacement for some of the Cement content in the Concrete. Designed to replace up to 50% of the Cement, GGBS is widely considered a more sustainable option compared to other Cement substitutes and significantly reduces the environmental impact, conserving natural resources for future generations.
EnviroMix Applications & Mixes
EnviroMix can be utilised on construction developments of any scale, from sustainable housing developments and soil stabilisation projects to wind farms and highway formations, as well as other supporting infrastructure like bridges and sea defences. The following mixes are available utilising GGBS:
- Standard Prescribed Concrete (ST)
- General Concrete (GEN)
- Reinforced Concrete (RC)
- Paving Concrete (PAV)
- Foundation Concrete (FND)

EnviroMix Facts & Figures
Using GGBS reduces the equivalent CO2 in a concrete mix by around 880kg (80%) for every tonne of Portland cement, see illustration below:
Each year, the UK uses over 2 million tonnes of GGBS as a replacement for cement.
• Reduces CO2 emissions by almost 1.56 million tonnes
• Reduces primary energy use by 1.6 million MWh
• Saves approximately 2.7 million tonnes of quarrying
