Carbstone: Innovative CO2-negative building blocks with EPD certification for a circular and sustainable future
In a world where sustainability is increasingly important, the construction industry plays a crucial role in creating a better future. Carbstone, the innovative CO2-negative and 100% recyclable building block, offers a breakthrough solution for circular and sustainable construction. With an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate under its belt, Carbstone takes environmentally friendly building materials to the next level. But what is an EPD and why is it important for architects, building professionals and future generations?
What is an EPD?
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a science-based certificate that identifies the ecological impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle. This means that factors such as resource use, production, transportation and recycling are assessed. For building materials, an EPD is essential to provide transparent and comparable information about their environmental impact. This certification helps architects and building specialists make sustainable choices, helping them contribute to buildings with a lower carbon footprint.
Carbstone: The building block of the future
Carbstone is known as the circular building solution that is not only CO2-neutral, but even CO2-negative! Thanks to the advanced manufacturing process, Carbstone building blocks remove more CO2 from the air than they emit. Moreover, the blocks become stronger as they age because they continuously absorb CO2. Now that’s innovation! Made from secondary raw materials, such as stainless steel slag, these blocks are fully recyclable. Recycling creates only sand and gravel, which means that sand and gravel pits may become obsolete in the future. A true revolution in the construction industry!
For architects: New opportunities for sustainable construction
Architects today are under more pressure than ever to create sustainable and circular designs that comply with environmental standards and regulations. With Carbstone building blocks, architects can not only make environmentally conscious choices, but also create innovative projects that contribute to a greener image. Carbstone offers flexibility and versatility, with applications that vary, making it easy for any building project to meet the demands of the future.
Circular and sustainable building: The way forward
The construction industry is currently a major contributor to global CO2 emissions. Carbstone shows that it can be done differently. The combination of cradle-to-cradle production, exceptionally high compressive strength and fast curing time make these building blocks a technological marvel. Moreover, Carbstone blocks are also included in the National Environmental Database, proving that they meet the strictest sustainability criteria in the Netherlands.
With a Carbstone construction project, you make a conscious choice for sustainability and circularity. By integrating these products into your designs, you contribute to a world in which building is no longer harmful, but rather has a positive impact. Saving CO2, reducing waste and fully reusing materials-that’s the future of construction.
The future starts here: Choose Carbstone
Carbstone is not just another building material, it is a vision of a better future. A future in which the ecological footprint of the construction industry is significantly reduced, without compromising on quality or strength. It is the solution for architects, contractors and construction companies who want to evolve towards sustainable and circular construction. By consciously choosing Carbstone building materials, you not only give buildings, but also our planet a stronger foundation.
