Orbix (Belgium)

Great to see how celebrating St. Eloi at Orbix is not only about bringing people together but also about raising awareness for our impact on the climate. The 2Tonnes workshop provided an engaging way to reflect on sustainability and inspired us to take action for a greener future. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this event a success. Together, we continue to innovate and build a circular tomorrow! 🌍💡 #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #StrongerTogether

𝗣𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗢₂ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴. On November 5th, at the Industrya conference, experts and innovators came together to share bold solutions for CO₂ recycling. One standout moment was the presentation of the CO2ncreat project by Julien Cruz from Fluxys, showcasing a revolutionary approach: capturing CO₂ directly at its source to create sustainable construction materials. In partnership with Lhoist, Fluxys, and Prefer, this project aims to recycle an impressive 12,000 tons of CO₂ annually. With Orbix’s advanced technology and expertise in sustainable materials, we’re contributing to a cleaner, circular future for the construction industry. A heartfelt thank you to Industrya and Thibaud Le Séguillon for organizing this inspiring event and for their commitment to championing sustainability and innovation in our sector.

Orbix was afgelopen vrijdag 11 oktober aanwezig als sponsor bij het Klimaatparlement in Alden Biesen. Dit netwerkevent biedt klimaatondernemers de kans om innovatieve en duurzame projecten te presenteren en waardevolle connecties op te bouwen. Samenwerking is de sleutel tot vooruitgang. Bekijk hier alvast enkele foto’s en houd onze pagina in de gaten voor meer sfeerbeelden van het event! ---------------------------------------------- Orbix was present last Friday, October 11th, as a sponsor at the Klimaatparlement (Climate Parliament) in Alden Biesen (BE). This networking event offers climate entrepreneurs the opportunity to pitch innovative and sustainable projects and build valuable connections. Collaboration is key to progress. Check out some photos here and stay tuned to our page for more highlights from the event!

Exciting developments are starting with the CARBCOMN project! In collaboration with our partners, we’re working on carbon-negative, 3D-printed concrete structures that aim to set new standards for sustainable and deconstructable building design. Supported by the European Union, this initiative is focused on decarbonizing the construction sector. By exploring innovative technologies like carbon curing and compression-dominant structures, the consortium—comprising top research institutions and industry leaders—is laying the groundwork for a greener future in construction. Stay tuned for more updates!

On September 21st, Orbix took part in distributing food and school supplies that we had collected for people in need in the greater Charleroi region. Thanks to the Royal Charleroi Sporting Club, more than 200 packages were distributed. A big round of applause to Karine, the head of the foundation, and Walter Chardon for all the hard work they put in. If you too would like to make a donation or lend a helping hand, don’t hesitate to get in touch with them.

Onlangs waren we aanwezig bij de opening van de Pirrouet-fabriek van Vandersanden. Deze fabriek produceert de CO₂-negatieve Pirrouet-gevelsteen, die gebruikmaakt van de geavanceerde Carbstone®-technologie, ontwikkeld door Orbix. In de jaren '90 ontdekte Orbix dat staalrestafval door reactie met CO₂ kon worden omgezet in een hard materiaal. Na jaren van onderzoek ontwikkelden we onze Carbstone®-technologie. Dankzij een samenwerking met Vandersanden worden nu op grote schaal CO₂-negatieve Pirrouet-gevelstenen geproduceerd. Vandersanden maakt gevelstenen in diverse kleuren en formaten van Aperam's roestvrijstaalslakken, met de technologie van Orbix. Dit is een sterk voorbeeld van duurzame innovatie en samenwerking tussen bedrijven!

This factory produces the CO₂-negative Pirrouet façade bricks, which use the advanced Carbstone® technology developed by Orbix. In the 1990s, Orbix discovered that steel waste could be transformed into a hard material through a reaction with CO₂. After years of research, we developed our Carbstone® technology. Thanks to our partnership with Vandersanden, CO₂-negative Pirrouet façade bricks are now being produced on a large scale. Vandersanden manufactures these bricks in various colors and formats from Aperam's stainless steel slag, using Orbix's technology. This is a strong example of sustainable innovation and collaboration between companies! To a sustainable future! 🥂 (In the photo are our founders: Serge Celis and Danny Vanschoonbeek, among others.)

V.O.F. De Amstel and BAM Wonen, both of which prioritize sustainability and innovation, went to see how Vandersanden's CO2-negative Pirrouette facade brick is made at their production site. This brick is made possible by Orbix's Carbstone® technology. That means: The hardening process of this brick doesn’t merely avoid additional CO2 emissions; it tackles the issue from another angle. By incorporating CO2 into the production process, these bricks actively absorb and sequester carbon dioxide, more so than any other building product.
