What Eco Material Technologies does

Eco Material Technologies is the leading producer and supplier of sustainable cement alternatives in North America, operating a national platform for fly ash, natural and synthetic pozzolans, harvested ash, synthetic gypsum, and proprietary green cement products. The company was formed in February 2022 through the merger of Boral Resources (Boral Limited's North American fly ash business) and Green Cement Inc., inheriting decades of coal-combustion-product (CCP) management heritage dating to the early 1960s and proprietary PozzoSlag® pozzolanic technology dating to 2011. Eco Material moved 10+ million tons of material annually across 100+ sites in 46 states and Canada, serving 4,000+ customer locations through a logistics network of 58 terminals, 4,000 railcars, and 400 trucks, while holding over 50% market share in fly ash marketing for more than two decades.

The core product portfolio spans standard supplementary cementitious materials (Class C and Class F fly ash, Micron3® refined pozzolan, Kirkland Natural Pozzolan), proprietary green cement technology (PozzoSlag®, PozzoCem®, PozzoCem Vite®) capable of replacing 50–100% of portland cement with up to 99% lower CO2 emissions, specialty process technologies (Ammonia Slip Mitigation, RestoreAir®, SorbSensor®, FACT beneficiation), engineered materials (Celceram® calcium aluminosilicate spheres), and a full suite of road construction and soil stabilization products. Eco Material also provides engineering services, CCP management for electric utilities, disposed-ash harvesting for beneficial use, and synthetic gypsum processing through its SynMat subsidiary.

The business operates a B2B enterprise model with quote-based volume pricing on multi-year contracts, selling directly to ready-mix concrete producers, cement and wallboard manufacturers, infrastructure contractors, and government transportation agencies, while running long-term partnerships with 125+ electric utilities on the supply side. Following its $2.1 billion acquisition by CRH plc in September 2025, Eco Material now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary within CRH's building materials portfolio alongside Ash Grove Cement, Leviat, Oldcastle APG, and Oldcastle Infrastructure.

Products and services

• Green Cement (PozzoSlag®, PozzoCem®, PozzoCem Vite®) Proprietary near-zero-carbon cement technology utilizing fly ash and pozzolanic materials that can replace 50-100% of portland cement in concrete. PozzoSlag® is 20% stronger than portland cement in 28 days and generates up to 99% less CO2 emissions. PozzoCem Vite® enables 3D-printed housing construction with 92% fewer emissions and 2-3 minute setting time.
• Class C Fly Ash Self-hardening fly ash with unique characteristics that reduces permeability. Especially useful in pre-stressed concrete and applications requiring high early strengths, as well as soil stabilization.
• Class F Fly Ash Fly ash that reduces bleeding and segregation in plastic concrete. Increases ultimate strength, reduces drying shrinkage and permeability, lowers heat of hydration, and reduces creep in hardened concrete.
• Micron3® Refined Pozzolan Ultra-fine refined pozzolan processed from selected fly ash for high performance concrete. Particles fill voids between aggregates and cement for increased reactivity, greater flowability and workability with decreased water demand.
• Ammonia Slip Mitigation (ASM) Technology Gas-phase ammonia slip mitigation technology that eliminates ammonia slip through injection of oxidizers, converting ammonia to harmless compounds and allowing fly ash use in concrete applications.
• Celceram® Cellular ceramic materials comprised of complex inorganic solid and semi-solid calcium aluminosilicate glass spheres. Used as functional filler in polyolefin, PVC, asphalt, reactive polyurethane, SBR and latex based products.
• Celceram® PV20A Solid calcium aluminosilicate glass spheres product sourced from coal combustion. Considered pre-consumer recycled content as defined by USGBC's LEED program and NSF140 standard.
• Highly Reactive Pozzolans High performance pozzolan products developed through Eco Material's technology development program for construction applications and concrete property optimization. Includes enhanced natural pozzolans that match rapid set time of portland cement.
• Kirkland Natural Pozzolan Natural pozzolan product from Kirkland Mining Company's mine near Kirkland, Arizona. Provides effective supplementary cementitious material with excellent ability to mitigate alkali-silica reaction and improved sulfate resistance.

Direct peers

• Salt River Materials Group: SRMG is a Phoenix-based joint venture between Salt River Project and Independence Excavating, marketing fly ash and supplementary cementitious materials across the western U.S. Direct head-to-head competitor to Eco Material in fly ash marketing; the company's VP West Region (James Carusone) was formerly SVP of Sales at SRMG, evidencing tight talent and market overlap.
• Charah Solutions: Charah Solutions is a Louisville, KY-based provider of coal combustion product management, fly ash marketing, and utility services — directly competing with Eco Material's CCP Management, ash harvesting, and SCM sales lines. (Note: Charah filed for Chapter 11 in 2023 and emerged under new ownership in 2024, reducing but not eliminating competitive intensity.)
• Boral Limited: Boral Limited is an Australian-based building materials and construction products company whose North American fly ash business (Boral Resources) was merged with Green Cement Inc. in Feb 2022 to form Eco Material Technologies. Boral itself remains a peer in cement, concrete, and quarry products across Asia-Pacific, providing a broad-incumbent comparison for fly ash/SCM economics.

Broad incumbents

• Ash Grove Cement Company: Ash Grove is a Kansas City-based cement manufacturer acquired by CRH in 2018; now a sister company within CRH alongside Eco Material. Comparable in that it produces portland cement that Eco Material's SCMs partially substitute for — strategic tension/cooperation around SCM-cement blend optimization in CRH's North American footprint.
• Holcim Ltd: Holcim is a global building materials leader (cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete) with an explicit decarbonization roadmap targeting net-zero concrete and significant investment in calcined clay SCMs (LC3 technology). Comparable as a competitor in low-carbon cement and a potential partner/customer for SCM supply at Holcim's North American plants.
• Heidelberg Materials: Heidelberg Materials is a global cement and aggregates producer with a North American footprint (formerly Lehigh Hanson) that competes in cementitious materials and is investing heavily in CCUS and lower-CO2 cement. Comparable as a large-scale cement player whose specifications and procurement drive SCM demand in the same geographies Eco Material serves.
• Cemex S.A.B. de C.V. Cemex is a Mexico-based global cement, ready-mix, and aggregates producer with a sizable U.S. presence (including a former fly ash subsidiary, Mineral Resource Technologies, whose execs moved to Eco Material). Comparable as a competing cement supplier with vertical integration into concrete and growing investment in lower-carbon cement formulations.

Emerging players

• CarbonCure Technologies: CarbonCure is a Canadian-based climate-tech company injecting captured CO2 into ready-mix concrete to reduce cement content and sequester carbon. Comparable as an emerging low-carbon concrete technology platform competing for specifier mindshare, though focused on a different decarbonization mechanism (CO2 injection vs. SCM substitution).
• Solidia Technologies: Solidia Technologies is a Piscataway, NJ-based company developing CO2-cured concrete and low-carbon cementitious binders using a non-hydraulic calcium silicate chemistry. Comparable as an emerging low-carbon cement alternative; its technology overlaps with Eco Material's PozzoSlag/PozzoCem value proposition for cement replacement.

Regional players

• Titan Cement Group: Titan Cement is a Greece-headquartered cement and building materials producer with U.S. operations (Titan America) focused on the Eastern U.S. and Florida markets. Comparable as a regional cement competitor that also procures and markets SCMs to meet customer low-carbon concrete specifications, primarily in geographies overlapping Eco Material's footprint.
