The material that is changing construction
Geopolymers are a type of inorganic polymer that can be used as a binding system for making concrete without relying on traditional cement. Geopolymers offer an alternative by utilizing aluminosilicate materials, along with alkaline activators.
Why Geopolymer is the best material for construction
Geopolymer leads sustainability in construction with 70% less energy than concrete, 50% better energy savings, responsible sourcing, and unmatched durability.
- 70% reduction in embodied energy: it produces significantly less greenhouse gas emissions during its production and transportation.
- 50% improved building energy saving: Geopolymer consumes less energy compared to traditional structures, resulting in significant cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
- Responsible sourcing: Geopolymers come from recycling industrial waste and using aluminosilicate, the most abundant mineral group in the Earth's crust.
- Durable material: Geopolymers are highly durable and resilient materials compared to traditional concrete.
The Future of construction is Green building
Building Tomorrow Today: Embracing the Green Revolution in Construction
Population Growth Driving Construction
Africa's anticipated 75% share in global population growth by 2050 underscores the urgent need for construction. Green building practices will be crucial, emphasizing sustainability and resource efficiency.
Future Buildings Yet to Be Constructed:
The World Green Building Council reveals that 80% of the buildings expected in 2050 are still unbuilt. This presents a unique opportunity to shape the future with sustainable construction methods, reducing environmental impact.
Addressing Environmental Impact
Traditional construction methods contribute significantly to environmental degradation. Green building, exemplified by materials like geopolymer concrete, is essential for mitigating these impacts and fostering a more sustainable industry.
