Néolithe takes concrete steps forward : first cubic meters poured

Thanks to its process of Accelerated Fossilization of non-recyclable waste, Néolithe produces carbon-storing aggregates called Anthropocite. They can be used in the construction sector and are being used for the first time in the Empreinte project.

Empreinte, the construction of the future

Empreinte is a low-carbon housing concept promoted by a group of companies and initiated by ERB (« Entreprise Générale du Bâtiment »), whose aim is to explore new ways of building the housing of tomorrow. The first new-style home to emerge from this project will see the light of day at the end of June in the « Les Echats III » eco-neighborhood in Beaucouzé (49).

This sustainable construction initiative is fully in line with Néolithe’s commitment to reducing France’s carbon footprint from waste processing. Thanks to an Accelerated Fossilization process, several hundred kilos of non-recyclable waste from building sites, which would normally have had to be landfilled or incinerated, were transformed into aggregates used in the formulation of the ready-mix concrete used to build the foundations of this home of the future.

« It is with great pride that we contribute to the development of an initiative such as Empreinte by manufacturing the first concrete made from Anthropocite, a product of our Accelerated Fossilization of waste technology. It’s a project driven by a group of companies who, like Néolithe, are keen to invent solutions to today’s environmental challenges. » says Clément Bénassy, Managing Director of Néolithe.
