Econcrete

by Cooloo · Netherlands · COA313 · Published 27 Feb 2024
About this material

Econcrete is one of the harder and tougher alternatives within Cooloo’s material range. This concrete and stone like material is made from +65% recycled material and has low CO2 emissions. It can be applied to flooring, walls, stairs, facades, furniture, tabletops and planters to give it a super cool and industrial look and feel. Due to the use of a slightly flexible and bio-based binder, this hard material has sturdy and tough properties which makes it a good fit for surfaces that endure high tensions and risk of cracking like stairs or seating furniture. Econcrete is available in a range of colours, to suit any design and shape. Additionally, it can incorporate alternative waste streams such as bricks, roof tiles, glass, and other construction debris.

The innovative application technique makes it ideal not only for new construction projects, but also renovation of old floors, walls, facades and existing furniture in need of a fresh and durable appearance. Its fire-retardant and UV-resistant properties further enhance its suitability for both indoor and outdoor use, including demanding construction environments.

Discover its versatility in action by exploring projects like the Red Bull headquarters or the Botanic Tower, where Econcrete showcases its flexible and seamless application across diverse surfaces.

Econcrete is tested VOC-free with Air Comfort Gold and complies with BREEAM, LEED, Cradle2Cradle and all European indoor air quality standards. LCA studies show that the material has 70 – 80% less CO2 emissions than standard flooring alternatives.
