After China and the US, Cement is one of the biggest contributors to Carbon Emissions and that’s why Material Evolution exists. We’re challenging and disrupting the cement industry, and with a value of $500bn across the Globe we’re not underestimating the challenge.
Having recently raised £15m in Series A and with a new, purpose-built R&D facility being constructed in addition to a production facility in North Wales, there is already an amazing success story to tell. As a team of 23 highly motivated people with global ambitions, Material Evolution is already a company that is shifting the needle across the industry. Having discovered (and patented) a novel geopolymer cement that is both carbon-neutral and superior to existing cements by virtually every measurable standard we are taking this product to market by partnering with some of the world’s leading industrial materials companies.
