Regen Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) is a cement substitute, manufactured from a by-product of the iron-making industry. The use of Regen in concrete reduces embodied CO2 emissions by over 900kg per tonne of cement, and also increases its durability.
Regen is more sustainable than other cement substitutes such as Pulverised Fuel Ash (PFA). In the UK, GGBS is usually supplied as a separate component for concrete and is added at the concrete mixer. It can replace up to 70 per cent or more of the portland cement. In British Standards GGBS is referred to as an ‘addition’ and counts fully towards the cement content in concrete.
Regen is available throughout the UK, accompanied by a full technical and logistical support package.
