¿Qué problema se ha resuelto?

Concrete is one of the most destructive materials and yet second most used material.It is causing 8% of global CO2 and plastic is littering our planet with only 9% being recycled.There is a global shortage of river sand,the second most used natural resource on earth which constitutes 70% of concrete

¿Cómo se resuelve?

Our product enables permanent CO2 storage in concrete and we can replace 60% of the required river sand with 40% non-recyclable plastic waste in volume.

¿Quiénes son los clientes potenciales?

We provide the formulation to the manufacturer, who in turn supplies the concrete to the builder, who in turn makes better buildings more quickly at a lower price. The ultimate beneficiaries are the eventual residents of these builders.

¿En qué se diferencia esta solución?

We are the first company to use non-recyclable plastic waste as a replacement for sand while also sequestering carbon. Our material is more cost effective. It is also lighter (due to sand replacement with plastic), thus reducing overall weight.
