INTERBETON, with a steadfast commitment to sustainable development and innovation, has developed ECOPAVE BGM, an advanced and innovative solution for paving that combines high durability, a low environmental footprint, and seamless integration into natural or urban landscapes. It is specifically designed for low-traffic routes, pedestrian paths, bicycle lanes, and outdoor public spaces, delivering user-friendly, environmentally conscious surfaces that promote a sense of calm, safety, and comfort.
The ECOPAVE BGM technology brings together the efficiency of a stabilized material with rapid application and the natural aesthetic required for urban and landscape regeneration projects, enhancing both the functionality and sustainability of public space.
ECOPAVE BGM can be produced using locally available aggregates from the project site or crushed quarry aggregates, with its composition adaptable to meet the specific technical and aesthetic requirements of each application. Multiple options in color, texture, and grain size offer high design versatility, ensuring natural integration into any environment—whether natural or urban.
Compared with asphalt or other traditional paving materials, ECOPAVE BGM is a far more environmentally friendly solution, with very low equivalent CO₂ emissions per square meter, significantly reducing the energy and environmental footprint of construction works. It actively supports the transition to more sustainable, resilient, and responsible infrastructure. ECOPAVE BGM is accompanied by Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) documenting its excellent environmental performance.
ECOPAVE BGM combines flexibility and adaptability to meet a wide range of technical and environmental needs. Its industrial production in INTERBETON’s highly automated plants ensures consistent quality, precision, and reliability. The option to use local or recycled aggregates improves the sustainability of each project.
• Compliant with EN 14227-1 strength categories
• High long-term durability, reducing LCC by 20–40% compared to conventional practices
• Resistance to freeze–thaw cycles
• Stable industrial production with controlled characteristics and performance
• Customizable grain size and colors according to architectural needs
• Available with reflectivity indices based on the mix design and local raw materials
• Suitable for the use of local or recycled aggregates for sustainable construction
ECOPAVE BGM fully aligns with circular economy principles and provides solutions with a low environmental footprint. Its technology improves soil plasticity, boosts load-bearing capacity, and creates stable, durable surfaces that resist time with minimal maintenance. Using local and recycled aggregates decreases transportation needs, reduces CO₂ emissions, and encourages responsible resource management—establishing it as more environmentally friendly than conventional pavements.
It promotes sustainable construction by:
• Using local and recycled aggregates for circularity
• Reducing CO₂ emissions due to minimized transport
• Extending long-term durability by 50–100%
• Reducing maintenance needs by 50–70%, lowering total life-cycle cost
• Delivering a more environmentally responsible choice than asphalt or conventional concrete pavements
INTERBETON supplies a substantial part of the works being carried out at The Ellinikon. These include major infrastructure projects such as flood protection works, above-ground and underground crossings along Poseidonos Avenue and at The Ellinikon Mall, as well as the sports facilities of The Ellinikon Sports Park.
