IBAA secondary aggregates

IBAA secondary aggregates

Incinerator bottom ash (IBA) consists largely of inert, non-combustible materials left behind after the waste combustion process—such as brick, rubble, glass, ceramics, and stone. These materials, once considered waste, hold significant potential for reuse in construction. By recovering and processing IBA, we divert valuable resources from landfills and reduce the demand for natural aggregates, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.

With over 20 years of global experience in processing and managing IBA aggregates (IBAA), we recognize the strong potential of repurposing these materials. IBAA provides a reliable and sustainable alternative to natural aggregates and can be effectively used in a wide range of applications, including road base construction.

A safe alternative while preserving primary aggregates

Our IBA aggregates are regularly and rigorously tested to ensure they meet local authority regulations and the high performance standards required by the industry. This process guarantees that IBAA is a safe, reliable and sustainable material that provides environmental benefits and reliable performance across a wide range of construction applications, including road construction.
To support this, our Environmental team conducts comprehensive assessments for every project involving IBA aggregate supply. These evaluations consider factors such as site geology and provide contractors with clear guidance on how and where IBAA should be used, ensuring compliance with technical construction regulations and maximizing project outcomes.
