Sonocrete: Breaking the Wall to Sustainable Concrete
Sonocrete is a pioneering start-up on a mission to address the environmental impact of the concrete industry. Cement, the main ingredient of concrete, accounts for 8% of global carbon emissions. Recognizing this issue, Sonocrete is striving to make a significant impact by reducing these emissions by 30%.
Sonocrete achieves this reduction through their innovative use of high-power ultrasound to accelerate the hydration reaction in concrete. This enables a decrease in cement levels without compromising the performance and quality of the concrete. This approach has the potential to revolutionize the industry by offering a more sustainable alternative.
By deploying their ultrasound-based pre-mixing system, Sonocrete is poised to transform the concrete industry, making it more environmentally friendly and paving the way for a more sustainable future.
