In Paris, along the Claude Lévi-Strauss elevated walkway

What if clay found its full potential in contemporary urban design?

In Paris, along the Claude Lévi-Strauss elevated walkway, MATERRUP Low Carbon & Circular Cements have been used for the development of a public space in the Paris Rive Gauche project, led by SEMAPA🌍

At MATERRUP, we transform a natural, local, and abundant resource into cold-activated clay cement for ready-to-use, low-carbon structural concretes, tailored to the demands of urban projects.

▶️ Why clay?

Because it is universal.

Found in soils everywhere.

Locally available.

And because it can be transformed without firing, with a dramatically reduced carbon footprint.

Our MCC1® cement offers:

✅ 50% less CO₂

✅50% less embodied energy

✅ no firing process

✅ a local and abundant resource

It allows the production of structural concretes with:

✅ the same mechanical performance as conventional concrete

✅ the same shrinkage

✅ the same creep

✅ the same applications

This project demonstrates that cold-activated clay cement fully meets the technical, functional, and aesthetic requirements of Parisian urban developments.

Building the post-carbon city means evolving the binder without sacrificing reliability.
