Contribution to Resource-Saving Construction
Sand is the most heavily traded solid resource in the world, with human consumption of the material estimated at 50 billion metric tons per year – and that figure is rising. Sand can be found in concrete, bricks, glass, roads, insulation and solar installations, among other applications. -
NEWood
100% bio-based, sustainable and recyclable: NEWood is one of those alternative building materials that could have a special significance for the radical turnaround in the construction sector. -
Durability enhancement for cementitious materials through waterproofing by organosilicon chemistry
Organosilicon-based products have very effectively been applied to treat and protect a wide range of buildings and public works. By means of surface impregnation, coating, etc., these products help achieve excellent hydrophobic effects on treated substrates against water-induced damage. -
Closing the loop – 100% circular concrete
Innovative concrete recycling technologies will at the same time enable the concrete chain to be circular and mitigate climate change. -
DryTile technology
For some years now, cork has been making a comeback as a versatile material. The renewable resource`s natural properties have led to numerous new applications in design and architecture. Cork is impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic, compressible, hypoallergenic, durable and lightweight. -
Renewables-Based Silicone Sealants
The offer of products manufactured using bio-based methanol to silicone sealant suppliers is increasing. -
Building Circularity Passport
What CO2 footprint do materials have? Which types of structures can be separated again? Which products are healthy and beneficial for humans and the environment? What raw material values does a building have throughout its lifecycle? -
COMBATING CRUMBLING CONCRETE
Concrete was already being used in Roman times to erect buildings that would last almost for eternity. So it is all the more astonishing that some of today’s concrete structures reveal serious damage after only a few years. One reason is the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). WACKER’s building-protection experts are taking steps to stop ASR by subjecting the concrete to integral treatment. -
100% made from recycled plastic
The specific properties of the material, the color and design are determined by the recycled raw material. This makes each panel of the recycled plastic sheets unique. -
Closed Loop Carpets
As a Cradle to Cradle company, Desso is committed to the goal of developing products that can be returned and recycled in a pollution-free, closed cycle - the basis for a regenerative recycling economy. -
Polymer Powder based on renewable raw materials via the biomass balance approach
Ecological and sustainable building construction plays a key role in global efforts to reduce climatically harmful carbon dioxide. As architects and property developers increasingly turn to renewable raw materials, ever more manufacturers of construction materials are now offering such solutions. -
New bricks made of construction waste
To minimise the waste produced by the construction industry, more and more building materials are being made from secondary raw materials. -
100% made from recycled glass bottles
A very durable translucent material is created from recycled glass. The color of the material depends on the color of the raw material used in production.
