France Télévisions – ICI 12/13 and ICI 19/20 Aquitaine: This concrete is revolutionizing the construction sector

🗨️ "Made with low-carbon cement, it consumes half the energy of conventional cement, a unique technology developed by the Landes-based company Materrup.

Its cold production process halves the carbon footprint, a boon for the construction industry, which is responsible for the highest CO2 emissions. » Alexandre Perrin, journaliste francetv journalist. 

🏗️ This #innovation has impressed a major retailer, LIDL-france. 

On this construction site, low-carbon concrete blocks are being used to build the walls of this future store.

🗨️ "This material is low-carbon and has the great advantage of being almost the same price, if not the same price, as conventional concrete materials. Today, there is no financial impact for us in the use of these blocks for our store." - Arnaud Plantier, Technical Manager at Lidl

As strong and durable as ordinary cement, this material is protected by 50 international patents. The Landes-based company has just raised 26 million euros to build around ten factories in France and Europe.

🗨️ "Our cement is produced from raw, uncalcined clay. We do not use kilns or heat. This clay is ♻️ sourced from local waste, which we transform into cement with the same performance as conventional cement and can be used in 80% of building applications." - Julie Neuville, President of Materrup

🗨️ "Our investors understand that we can develop this model in different territories. We have a multi-local model, which explains why Europe is supporting us today. Eurazeo, a French but also European and international investor, is helping us deploy these factories internationally." - Mathieu Neuville, CEO of Materrup

🗨️ A low-carbon cement set to be exported: Materrup's leaders were received in China to present their 100% Landes-made innovation, which is also attracting interest in the United States." - Alexandre Perrin, France Télévisions journalist.
