Problem Addressed

Conventional portland cement is the market leader for concrete production. It is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions, according to the BBC.

Solution Overview

Mevocrete is a competitively priced, low-carbon cement. It reduces the impact of typical construction materials through its industrial waste composition (97%) and its low carbon method, cutting emissions by up to 85% compared to the market leader. It clears brown sites, reduces need for landfill and creates a more efficient process for using industrial waste, both legacy and current.

Cost Benefit

Material Evolution needs to build automated production facilities to allow for greater production capacity in order to provide a viable competitor to ordinary portland cement.

Upfront costs are estimated at being at least £500,000 but this will be offset by low operating costs, as the manufacturing process requires very low energy consumption. A new facility will also create jobs in the local vicinity and boost local businesses.

Currently, it has a batch production facility that can produce 96 tonnes a day.

Case Study

Material Evolution has conducted several industrial trials with the largest pre-caster in Europe, which have demonstrated repeatability and viability at scale.
