Starstone
Biology-based concrete, same performance, same costs minus the environmental impact.
Description
Starstone addresses the growing demand for construction materials caused by global population growth and urbanization, which is putting immense pressure on the cement industry. Responsible for 7-8% of global CO2 emissions, cement production is the second most polluting industry. Traditional decarbonization methods have had limited success, and solutions like carbon capture are costly and impractical. Starstone provides a scalable, low-carbon, cost-effective alternative to cement, meeting rising demand while reducing environmental impact.
What makes it different
Starstone's technology outperforms competitors with its scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective solution. Unlike traditional methods, it eliminates the need for quarries or kilns by utilizing bacteria in fermenters, leveraging widely available equipment and supply chains. Our product integrates seamlessly into existing processes, offers price parity at scale, reduces emissions by over 50%, and ensures consistent, reliable output without the use of toxic chemicals or pathogenic bacteria.
