Urban Mining Industries

ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Repurposing waste glass into a low-carbon cement replacement that improves concrete durability, impermeability, and mitigation of the urban heat island effect.

Urban Mining Industries
Industry Cohort 25-2 Low Carbon Industrial Materials Industry - Cement
PROBLEM FOCUS
Concrete is the most abundant human-made material on Earth, with a global inventory of 600 billion tons. In addition to carbon pollution, the extensive use of concrete contributes to the urban heat island effect.
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
Urban Mining Industries is producing “Pozzotive®” ground glass pozzolan, which can replace up to 50% of the cement in concrete to achieve lower embodied carbon and higher performance. The resulting concrete is a brighter color, which reduces urban heat island effect by increasing the reflectivity and reducing heat absorption.
