- A new step toward carbon-storing concreteCement production is one of the most carbon-intensive industrial processes worldwide, responsible for about 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Researchers from Hefei University of…
- Hygroscopic MortarThe great hygroscopic and draining properties of this material allows a high level of water filtration and lets water to naturally seep into the ground, or be captured and retained in lower layers for subsequent reuse or controlled drainage. The material consists of 85% recycled ceramics and stone, bonded with white cement, all sourced locally in Mallorca.
- ScrustedScrusted is a handmade cement coating with a very coarse structure. The heavy cement structure is created through a specialised application technique, and can be modified through the addition of rapid-hardening artificial resin. Scrusted is suitable for indoor usage, water resistant and available in almost every colour.
- TX ActiveTX Active is a photocatalytic principle for cement products which can reduce organic and inorganic pollutants that are present in the air. TX Arca cement is specifically designed for the construction of prestigious architectural works.
- Criaterra wall tilesCRIATERRA’s zero-cement bio-geo stone aims to replace and revolutionise precast building products. The cement-free and kiln-free technology produces low carbon masonry blocks, cladding and tiles. The composite materials as strong as concrete allow the mass production of constructive elements as well as interior products.
- Inorganic Polymer ConcreteWall tile Zenith is made out of guilt-free concrete. Guilt-free because it doesn’t contain any cement, but still has all and more of the benefits of original concrete. The cement is replaced by waste materials with cementitious properties, giving it strength and great aesthetic looks.
- Paint made from waste concrete powder sequesters CO2London and Seoul based designer Kukbong Kim developed a paint called Celour made from waste concrete powder, leftover from recycling concrete, which actively captures…
