Texas residential project to use near-zero carbon cement
In Texas, Eco Material Technologies, a producer of sustainable cementitious materials and near-zero carbon cement replacement products in North America, and Hive 3D, a specialist in sustainable 3D-printed construction projects, recently unveiled the first 3D-printed homes utilizing near zero carbon cement as part of The Casitas @ The Halles, a collection of homes ranging from 400-900 square feet near Round Top, Texas.
Utilizing Eco Material’s near zero carbon, longer-lasting and more durable cement called PozzoCEM Vite, Hive’s 3D-printed houses will offer a sustainable and affordable housing solution to future residents of The Casitas @ The Halles. Previously, Hive 3D successfully printed a 3,150 square foot home using Eco Material’s near zero carbon cement, called PozzoSlag, at lower replacement levels.
“Hive 3D’s commitment to building the first 100% cement replacement 3-D printed homes aligns with our goal of transitioning the construction industry away from using materials that generate approximately 8% of the world’s carbon emissions each year,” said Grant Quasha, CEO of Eco Material Technologies.
