Exciting times ahead as we join forces with ADAPTAVATE on its cutting edge £1million project backed by Innovate UK. Together, we're pushing the boundaries of sustainable construction by developing a climate-positive alternative to traditional plasterboard. During the 24-month project, we will establish a sustainable source for carbon-storing materials, enabling the creation of a cost-competitive, first-of-its-kind carbon-negative plasterboard. This innovative solution has the potential to revolutionise the wallboard industry and significantly reduce the construction sector's carbon footprint. Beyond optimising the production process, we will explore the end-of-life benefits of this technology, turning construction waste into valuable soil additives or repurposing it for further manufacturing use. Having already collaborated successfully with Adaptavate, we're delighted to continue this partnership. It's a practical approach to a big challenge: taking a basic building material that's used in nearly every construction project and using a bio-based solution to make it work for our planet.

Imagine turning waste into carbon-storing, high-performance wallboards. That’s exactly what we, at Adaptavate, are doing! 🏗️♻️ We're excited to announce a £1 million Innovate UK grant to help scale our carbon-negative plasterboard alternative. We’ll be working with the Biorenewables Development Centre (BDC) to establish a carbon-storing feedstock source and develop a cost-comparable, first-of-its-kind carbon-negative plasterboard alternative that has the potential to transform the wallboard industry. This project will not only optimise our production process but also explore the end-of-life benefits of our technology, turning construction waste into valuable soil additives or repurposing it for further use in manufacturing. Our revolutionary plasterboard alternative can play a pivotal role in decarbonising the construction sector and contributing to global net-zero goals.
