Type 1 ECO Blend

Type 1 ECO Blend: A Sustainable Sub-Base Choice

Type 1 ECO Blend provides an eco-friendly alternative to traditional MOT Type 1, using recycled aggregates to boost sustainability. It mirrors the structural and compactable features of MOT Type 1, making it an excellent choice for projects prioritising environmental impact. The angular aggregates make it suitable for sub-base applications, though it should be covered with finer material for decorative purposes.

Type 1 ECO Blend: Practical Uses Across Projects

Thanks to its robust composition, Type 1 ECO Blend is ideal for various uses in both residential and commercial settings. It is suitable for creating a durable sub-base for driveways and parking areas, whether light or heavy-duty. This material also serves effectively as a base layer for paved patios, paths, and walkways. Its compactable nature makes it a reliable bedding layer for block paving or setts, and a solid compacted base for tarmac surfaces.
