Product description

Carbon Capture Earth-Bricks by earth4Earth are innovative building materials designed to address the carbon emissions associated with traditional brick manufacturing. These bricks are engineered from locally sourced soil and a novel lime-based binder that is synthesized at ambient temperature, eliminating the need for high-temperature firing processes that release fossil CO₂ emissions.

The unique composition of these bricks allows them to sequester carbon continuously over their lifetime, making them a sustainable choice for construction projects. At the end of their use, the bricks can be crushed and reincorporated into soil, promoting plant growth and completing a circular lifecycle.

In addition to their carbon capture capabilities, the earth-based bricks meet British building material standards and offer natural breathability, high thermal mass, and fire-resistance without the use of synthetic additives. This makes them a versatile option for a wide range of applications, including housing, commercial buildings, interior spaces, landscaping, and infrastructure.

By integrating low-carbon manufacturing with circular lifecycle benefits, Carbon Capture Earth-Bricks contribute to the global effort to mitigate climate change through sustainable architecture.

Key characteristics and environmental benefits

About the Company

earth4Earth is a UK-based cleantech startup founded in 2023, committed to decarbonizing the built environment through innovative, carbon-negative building materials. Their flagship product comprises bricks made from excavated soil that would otherwise go to landfill, combined with a proprietary lime-based binder produced at room temperature using renewable electricity. These "carbon capture bricks" absorb CO₂ over their lifecycle and store it permanently in solid form. At end of life, the bricks can be returned to soil to support crop growth. Certified to British standards, theirmaterial offers durability, excellent thermal mass, and fire resistance, while providing a sustainable alternative to conventional masonry. With manufacturing operations in Wuhan, China and a research centre in Sheffield, the company combines scientific rigor with ecological design to transform buildings into carbon sinks.
