Analysis: Low-carbon concrete, durable biocomposites... The new materials of French Tech.
en exemple des nouveaux matériaux : notre ciment The newspaper Les Echos mentions MATERRUP Low Carbon Cements as an example of new materials: our #MCC1 cement is already industrialized, commercialized, and... on construction sites!
➡️ « Industrial Challenge: Concrete, and especially cement (which binds), remains the most CO2-emitting material and the most widely used in construction. Industrial startups are seeking to reduce its carbon footprint, such as MATERRUP, which produces clay-based uncured cement - therefore low in energy consumption. »
➡️ « The task is colossal. The construction sector, responsible for 37% of global CO2 emissions, must initiate its decarbonization. A 'revolution,' according to the United Nations, as the sector must use less concrete and more locally sourced raw materials from biomass (hemp, straw, wood...) or recycled materials, as stated by the Organization in a report released last year. - »
💬 "If we're not competitive, we know that solutions won't emerge quickly enough. We've reduced our margins and worked on all our costs to be accessible," emphasizes Julie NEUVILLE
