SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS TRANSDORMING URBAN CONSTRUCTION

These innovative solutions not only reduce the environmental impact of new buildings, but also promote more responsible and resilient urban development.

• It maintains the same strength as traditional steel.
• 40% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
• The refurbishment of Palma de Mallorca Airport (Spain) is being carried out with circular, low-emission steel. Its use will prevent the generation of more than 1,900 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Green concrete

• Reduce the carbon footprint of concrete by more than 50% without compromising on quality or production costs.
• This type of concrete is composed of limestone, which is obtained by mixing the mineral portlandite and CO2 from the cement industry and other factories.
• The nature of portlandite allows it to capture CO2 from the atmosphere.

Green concrete

Concrete energy storage

• It is a type of concrete capable of storing energy.
• It incorporates carbon black to create an internal structure that allows for rapid charging and discharging of electricity.
• Buildings with this concrete can function as power plants, storing solar energy and releasing it during peak demand.

Recycled plastic bricks

• They turn plastic waste into strong and versatile building blocks.
• Each block is 40 cm high, 20 cm wide and weighs 10 kg, offering a strength comparable to concrete.
• It provides a useful outlet for plastics that are difficult to recycle, reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
