- 3D Printed LimestoneGlobigerina limestone has shaped Malta’s landscape and architecture for millennia, valued for its local availability, thermal mass, and cultural significance. Ambitious reimagines recycled limestone waste through 3D printing, transforming this ancient stone into a granular, programmable material shaped by digital deposition rather than carving.
- Building with algae-grown limestone concreteResearchers at University of Colorado Boulder in the US have developed a method to make cement production carbon neutral or even carbon negative by…
- Limex: limestone material to replace paper and plasticReading a book written on stone. You would think that time was long over and only something you would see in the Flintstones now,…
- A lamp made of 3D printed limestoneCalled Bone Light, the lamp, designed by Dutch design Lilian van Daal, is 3D printed using limestone. The lamp is designed using biomimicry, which…
- Eggshell-based ceramics and bioplasticsEggshells, a globally abundant food waste, are increasingly recognized as a sustainable feedstock for innovative materials such as ceramics and bioplastics. Eggshell-derived calcium carbonate serves as a low-carbon alternative to mined limestone in ceramic production. Eggshells are also revolutionizing bioplastics as a biobased filler and biodegradability enhancer.
- Carbon-neutral cement made with industrial residueResearcher at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in Germany found a way to produce more environmentally friendly and sustainable cement alternatives, made with industrial residues.…
- Cement Plants Could Combine Production With Direct Air CaptureCement production causes around five to eight per cent of global CO₂ emissions. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now explored a way to reduce…
- Lime Putty Mortars and PaintsArtisan Stucco aged lime putty is a high-performance mineral binder composed exclusively of 100% calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), derived from carefully selected limestone. Its production process combines traditional craftsmanship with technical precision, ensuring durability and a sustainable, long-lasting finish.
- Kunrader® stoneKunrader® is a characteristic hard limestone of architectural quality that can be used from load-bearing walls to interior details, the creative possibilities of Kunrader stone are virtually unlimited. In the south of the Netherlands, Zuid-Limburg, Kunrader® is sustainably mined by the Vervuurt family.
- More sustainable concrete made from recycled concrete and CO2Researchers at the University of Tokyo developed a more sustainable type of concrete made from waste concrete and carbon dioxide from the air or…
- ArmourcastArmourcast is a composition of crushed limestone, marble and gypsum used to create three-dimensional cast designs that look and feel like stone.
- Underneath a SurfaceUnderneath A Surface is a material study of linoleum, using hidden elements from its production process and history. The aim of designer Kita Keus is to raise the material from the floor to showcase it as a precious and versatile natural resource. Keus used printing blocks to stamp into the base material of linoleum, a mixture of pine resin, flaxseed oil, wood flour and limestone.
- CorquesMade up of resins, linseed oil, wood and cork flour, limestone, cork and natural pigments, Corques is a flexible linoleum material that can be seamlessly installed with no welds.
- Leemsteen (Dutch clay bricks)Dutch clay bricks are made of unbaked clay soil pressed into uniform building blocks. Because these clay bricks are not fired, their unique moisturizing and heat-accumulating properties are maintained. Due to the high mass of limestone, a mud wall can retain and give off heat well so that temperature fluctuations are effectively minimized. Furthermore, clay has a neutralizing effect on odors.
- AutarchyA collection of functional and durable vessels and lamps, naturally desiccated or low temperature baked, produced with a bio-material: 70% flour, 20% agricultural waste, 10% natural limestone. The colour palette is obtained by the selection of distinct vegetables, spices and roots that are dried, boiled or filtered for their natural dyes.
- VolimeaVolimea is made of alabaster gypsum, limestone and marble powders. The coating is breathable, moisture-regulating and non-combustable.
- FlowArmourCast sculptural wall panels are made from a composition of high purity gypsum plaster, crushed marble & limestone and acrylic polymer. The panels are an entirely mineral composition and are non toxic, containing no VOC,s or formaldehyde , and are completely non combustible.
- Fluid Stone Reimagines Quarry Waste Through Computational DesignNatural stone is one of the most durable building materials. However, quarries leave many stone blocks unused because of their size or shape. Fluid…
