BUILDING THE FUTURE
AFFORDABLE. SAFE. SUSTAINABLE.
A new generation of bio-based construction materials designed to make healthy housing more affordable and environmentally responsible.
Hemp-like performance at a fraction of the cost.
WHY OUR PRODUCTS?
Our material system combines wood waste, phyllosilicate material and calcium-based binder to create high-performance, sustainable building blocks and panels with no kiln firing required.
CARBON NEGATIVE
Our blocks and panels store carbon within the material itself, shifting construction away from a carbon-intensive model.
FIRE RESISTANT
Natural composition withstands elevated temperatures without releasing harmful gases or contributing to flame spread.
NON-TOXIC & BREATHABLE
Free from harmful additives, our blocks regulate humidity and improve air quality for healthier indoor environments.
THERMAL REGULATING
Excellent thermal and moisture regulation improves energy efficiency without complex systems.
DURABLE & RESILIENT
Resistant to pests and mould, built for long-lasting performance in any environment.
CIRCULAR DESIGN
Designed for low-impact end-of-life, eliminating plastic contamination and reducing construction waste.
NATURE. ENGINEERED.
Our BIOblocks and BIOpanels are made from four simple, natural ingredients sourced locally in Portugal:
WOOD WASTE
Lightweight structure & carbon storage
CALCIUM-BASED BINDER
Durability & fire resistance
PHYLLOSILICATE MATERIAL
Cohesion & workability
WATER
Natural curing process
VALIDATION IN PROGRESS
We are currently testing prototypes in collaboration with the University of Coimbra to validate performance, fire resistance, thermal behaviour, and moisture regulation.
HOW WE COMPARE
Designed to balance insulation, affordability, and sustainability, our BIOblocks & BIOpanels aim to provide a compelling alternative to both hemp-based and conventional masonry systems.
