Biocement Tiles by Biomason
Founded in 2012, Biomason aims to reduce CO2 emissions from global cement manufacturing, which contributes to about 8% of global CO2 emissions. Inspired by coral structures, Biomason developed a scalable, sustainable method to produce cement using microorganisms. Over the past decade, they have created technology to grow strong, durable Biocement®-based materials. Their product, the Biolith® tile, is made of 85% natural locally-sourced aggregates and 15% Biocement and is suitable for various construction uses like walls, floors, and facades. In 2023, Biomason partnered with Danish manufacturer IBF to open the first Biocement manufacturing facility to produce Biolith tiles, marking a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions in construction.
