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, cement made from 97% industrial waste. It reduces the impact of typical construction materials by clearing brown sites, reducing the need for landfills and creating a more efficient process for using industrial waste, both legacy and current.

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.
