Our Innovation Ecosystem
Welcome to our world of patents, licenses, and supported ventures
Our Innovations Are Market-Leading Changemakers
The circular economy has evolved from hopeful theories into serious, commercially-ready practices, and we're leading the charge with our portfolio of patents, licenses, and ventures.
NeoCem
Clay-based, low-carbon cement products
Traditional Portland cement production accounts for about 7% of global CO2 emissions. If the cement industry were a country, it would be the third most polluting in the world.
NeoCem seeks to reduce the cement industry's CO2 emissions by up to 90% through the use of its patent-protected process that activates clay in a way that it ends up adopting the same properties as Portland cement.
Our product was developed in partnership with the new Paris metro lines.
Valame
Asbestos treatment
Lingering asbestos plagues communities around the world, harming residents' quality of life and often leading to terminal cancer. Practices have been put in place to safely store asbestos, but nothing has been developed to treat it. Until now.
Valame provides a world-first chemical treatment of asbestos, removing its carcinogenic properties and turning it into a harmless construction material.
BringBack
Chemical regeneration of car and truck batteries
Used batteries are posing a growing problem around the world. Lead-acid batteries, although on the decline due to the global shift toward lithium-ion and solid state alternatives, are still endangering many communities. Untreated batteries can leak sulphuric acid into the ground, threatening water supply. Incinerated batteries can spew lead-laden ash into the air.
Our patent-protected process regenerates lead-acid batteries for cars, light vehicles, trucks, and buses back to their original state, allowing for them to be re-used directly instead of recycled. Ongoing efforts are being made to adapt our technologies to lithium-ion batteries.
