Why CERATECH’s material Technology is GREEN

CERATECH’s products are compromised of 30 to 95% green sustainable industrial waste stream materials and are manufactured via a simple low energy, powder blending process. CERATECHs products leave little to no “carbon footprint” Worldwide, the production of Portland cement alone accounts for 6 - 8% of all human generated CO² greenhouse gas. CERATECHs binder technology will eliminate 1 ton of CO² emitted into the atmosphere per ton of material produced

 Green Material technology

• CERATECH’s manufacturing process requires minimal electricity, drastically reducing harmful CO² emissions from fossil fuel power plants.
• CERATECH products contain between 30 & 95% industrial waste stream materials and can be further extended with post consumer waste for even greater conservation.
• Recycling of waste materials conserves non-renewable virgin resources and land fill space.
• Materials offer Long term durability resulting in less manufacturing and ultimately less energy needed.

• ENERGY INTENSIVE - burns fossil fuel increasing CO² emission
• Uses a vast amount of non-renewable virgin natural resources
• For every ton of Portland Cement manufactured, one ton of CO² is released into the atmosphere via outgassing from calcination of raw materials .
• Worldwide the production of Portland cement alone accounts for 6 - 8% of human generated CO²
• 55 gallons of oil are required to produce a single ton of Portland cement
• Requires constant improvements & restoration over time
