Sustainable Building Materials Finalists Announced!
Following the launch of our third accelerator for Sustainable Building Materials we’re excited to introduce the eight companies that have been invited to attend our Pitch Day Event on 5-6 March 2025.
Applications from this cohort were focused on: finding scalable solutions that can lower CO₂ emissions, better embrace the principles of a circular economy or deliver greater energy efficiency.
The eight companies are:
CHASM Advanced Materials - Developing and manufacturing advanced carbon nano materials to create a safer, more connected and sustainable world.
Cocoon Carbon - Developing a process that turns industrial waste like steel slag into sustainable cement while capturing CO2.
EnviCore - A growing technology company offering innovative and sustainable byproduct treatment solutions.
Enzymatic - Creating environmentally friendly concrete additives that substantially reduce CO2 emissions.
Material Evolution - An ultra-low carbon cement from industrial byproducts.
Mimicrete - An advanced materials science startup, developing novel self-healing concrete.
Neocrete - Re-engineering concrete to make it regenerative, resilient and carbon neutral.
PHNX Materials - Refining the 2.5B tons of U.S. landfilled coal ash into valuable end-products.
Eduardo Gomez, Head of CRH Ventures said: “The team have carefully evaluated all of the applications received for this accelerator program and competition for a spot at our upcoming Pitch Day Event was very strong.
“The eight finalists are all making a significant contribution to the future of sustainable construction technology and we’re looking forward to showcasing their work. The successful startups chosen at our Pitch Day Event will get the opportunity to partner with CRH Operating Companies to pilot their innovative solutions.”
We’ll be hosting the pitch event at London’s iconic 180 Studios in collaboration with our accelerator partners Arup, AXA XL, Climate Investment (CI), Construction Venture by Bouygues Construction, and Dysruptek,
Keep in touch as we announce the winners that will get the opportunity to pilot and scale their solutions with CRH Operating Companies.
