Cutting down CO₂.
Traditional cement production accounts for 8% of global CO₂ emissions. Without radical change, building our world’s infrastructure destroys our chance at a healthy and safe future.

Growing cement tiles. Like nature.
Our partner Biomason learned how nature grows through one of its most robust and enduring structures: coral. Taking inspiration from marine ecosystems, Biomason is on a path to greatly minimize carbon emissions in the production of building materials. With the help of bacteria, this tile grew in less than three days. It’s 20% lighter than a concrete block but three times stronger.
And the best thing?
These tiles do not require kiln firing.

Just three days of curing. No CO₂ emissions during this process. 3x Stronger than traditional cement block. These are just some of the details of our new BioBasedTile®. Wondering how this is possible?
Biomason, headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, United States, is the only company in the world employing biology to produce cement.
Since 2012, the company has used microorganisms to grow sustainable, structural biocement in ambient temperatures, harnessing the power of biotechnology to reinvent traditional cement and offer a planet-friendly alternative.
With a brand new production facility that is currently being installed in Europe, the BioBasedTile is by far the most sustainable option for architects, real estate developers, and retail organisations that are committed to lowering their CO₂ footprint.
We will be working closely together with Biomason to incorporate their unique technology into our portfolio of groundbreaking products and are looking forward to propelling the adoption of low-carbon building materials in the construction industry. And we need your help!
We’re looking for architects, real estate developers and retail organisations that are looking to lower their CO₂ footprint of material use on a large and systematic scale. Reach out to our sales team and make sure you are among the early adopters getting access to these materials.
