EASY TO USE

OUR PROPRIETARY BIOCHAR-MINERAL MATRIX

ACLA® is a carbon-negative aggregate-like additive that stands up to the rigors of asphalt production and use.

 

More than just a carbon sink, our proprietary biochar-mineral matrix is a high performance additive that preserves the road's structural integrity while locking away carbon permanently.

Specification Compliance

Fully compliant with SHW Clause 929 (Dense Base and Binder Course Asphalt Concrete).

Performance Stability

Extensive laboratory testing for stiffness, fatigue and water sensitivity confirmed that the net zero AC20 binder course (including ACLA®) was 100% compliant and in some cases outperformed a control mix.

Streamlined Approval

Approval granted via a standardised Departure from Standards process, now prescribed for National Highways schemes.

Independently Verified Carbon Data (EPD)

We sold out in 2025.
