ECOCONCRETE
The systematic development of a series of new eco-concrete types and mortar mixtures based on binder systems has started. By these, we are trying to replace portland cements, which production is currently one of the most significant sources of greenhouse gases. Waste but also qualified raw materials with different contents of water-extractable fractions are being used. Different levels of strength are achieved. With the right combination of raw materials, we are able to prepare materials that are heat-resistant and also health-friendly.
The basic series of samples has a potential of 50% -80% reduction of CO2 in the production of materials comparable to the traditional construction concretes and zero emissions for strength less demanding materials.
Products of such materials can be used to replace concrete in common building structures as well as elements of urban furniture, gardens and parks, pillars and bollards, railings, mobile and parking barriers or soundproof walls.
BETONEXT
Our attention has been focused on the development of new building materials in the BETONEXT project mainly due to the increase of greenhouse gases, causing an environmental change.
It represents the development of completely original ecological building materials, reminiscent of the ancient technological skills and evaluates the latest knowledge of the properties of natural and secondary raw materials. This is possible thanks to a special technology allowing a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, while maintaining the usual design parameters.
