i.work GEOMIX GREEN 4
i.work GEOMIX GREEN are filling mixtures, volumetrically stable, with controlled geotechnical characteristics with a minimum recycled content ≥70%.
i.work GEOMIX® GREEN is a material that can be assimilated to artificial soil: it allows the
quick filling of excavations and trenches and, where necessary, easy removal by means of
Manuals. The volumetric stability makes i.work GEOMIX® GREEN the ideal solution for fill road excavations without the typical settlements of the soils natural i.work GEOMIX® GREEN is also recommended for inerting tanks, pipes and for filling underground cavities.
The compositions of i.work GEOMIX® GREEN are designed with a content of secondary and/or recycled raw materials of ≥ 70% of the total mass of the mixture and a content of raw materials of regional origin ≥ 90% of the total mass of the
blend.
i.work GEOMIX® GREEN can be supplied, depending on different needs, in three
Distinct formulations:
- i.work GEOMIX GREEN 1 for filling excavations in general and flanking pipes in S1 consistency
- i.work GEOMIX GREEN 4 for excavation filling, in ≥ S4 consistency
- i.work GEOMIX GREEN F for filling and inerting with high-pressure mixture with high spreading.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner
Since 1864, Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa has been a leader in Italy in cement production. A century-old history made of people, knowledge, and innovation has led the company to be a key player in the construction materials sector. The widespread and rooted presence in the territory and the ability to offer innovative and quality products are the basis of integrated solutions and applications capable of meeting the needs of the cement and concrete market. The industrial structure consists of 8 cement production plants, a plant for special products with a lower environmental footprint than traditional cements, and several grinding centers. The production sites have obtained ISO 14001 environmental certification, and in some geographical areas, CSC certification, which certifies the responsible sourcing process throughout the production chain, according to the basic principles of Sustainability. The industrial network is also completed and integrated thanks to the significant presence in the concrete and aggregates sector with Heidelberg Materials Italia Calcestruzzi Spa. Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa, together with Heidelberg Materials Italia Calcestruzzi Spa, offers a wide range of products, applications, and solutions, from cement to ready-mixed concrete. The category of traditional cements consists of products suitable for specific construction types: from road and marine infrastructures to civil and industrial pavements, from dams to extraction wells, to the most common use for building. Alongside traditional cements, Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa offers a range of solutions for building regeneration, with binders, natural limes, mortars, and plasters, products that offer quality, consistency, and ease of application. Moreover, there is a range of green eco.build products, capable of responding to the growing market demand for solutions oriented towards environmental sustainability and the circular economy. Great importance is given to innovative solutions developed in the headquarters' laboratories, also through close collaboration with some of the most important designers and major university research centers, such as products for the regeneration and adaptation of infrastructures. Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa is a founding member of the Green Building Council Italia, the association that promotes the dissemination of circular economy principles in the construction sector, and a member of the Global Compact, the international organization that promotes the principles of sustainable development. The protection of workers' safety and health, and more generally social responsibility, are fundamental objectives for Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa and Heidelberg Materials Italia Calcestruzzi. A commitment that has led to a significant improvement in results since 2000: the injury frequency index in the plants has been reduced by about 98%. Today, Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa is part of Heidelberg Materials, a global player in the sector with 53,000 employees in 3,000 production sites in 50 countries on 5 continents. Among the Group's sustainability goals is the reduction of CO2 emissions per ton of cement by 30% by 2025. Strong in its brand and industrial and cultural identity, Heidelberg Materials Italia Cementi Spa operates with its historic brand in the Italian market, with a responsible and sustainable presence in local communities.

| Technical purpose of product | - Trenching for pipelines (water, gas, electrical cables, telephone cables, sewage) or for other similar uses - Temporary excavations - Levelling of foundations - Subfoundations of road and motorway works - Inerting of underground tanks and piping - Infill and temporary works - Backfilling of disused tunnels - Filling cavities that are difficult to access |
| Manufacturing or service provision description | At Heidelberg Materials Italia Calcestruzzi Spa plants producing i.pro STRUCTURA ECO CAM , cement supplied are stored in silos while aggregates are deposited in a dedicated open area. Additives are received and stored in cisterns and tanks protected from atmospheric agents while water is sourced from wells located in the plants. All raw materials are automatically measured ac- cording to stabilised proportion, transported through conveyor belts directly to the concrete mixer where they are all mixed together. Cement is fed through coclea, aggregates on conveyor belts while water and additives are pumped. The produced i.pro STRUCTURA ECO CAM is then delivered to the building sites in concrete mixers. Emissions related to the production process includes air emissions from the use of fuels in onsite transportation vehicles and also dust emissions arising from the handling (transportation, mixing and packaging in bags) of raw materials and product. |

Additional environmental information
Total recycled material (compliant to ISO 14021)
The total recycled content is calculated as a mass balance on the average annual composition and represents the effective content of secondary materials present in the final product:
- Total Post-consumer recycled material, weight-% of product: 86.4 %
- Total Pre-consumer recycled material, weight-% of product: 0.3 %
- Total recycled material, weight-% of product: 86.7 %
