Material Evolution
Low-carbon cement from industrial waste, cutting CO₂ by 85%.
The problem
Concrete is the second most used material worldwide, and cement production accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions. Next to carbon capture technology, companies will need to use alternative materials and innovative processes to decarbonize the industry.
The solution
Material Evolution is redefining cement with a geopolymer made from waste streams from mining industry. Their process cuts CO2 emissions by 85% compared to OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement)—without the need for energy-intensive kilns. With a simple, one-part formula activated by water, they offer a scalable, low-carbon alternative that reshapes the industry and accelerates the transition to sustainable construction.
