Description

Bouygues Construction, a forefront advocate for sustainable development in the construction industry, has strategically initiated the adoption of the innovative cleantech solution, EcoLithe, within their operations in Nanterre, France. To evaluate the efficacy of this partnership, a pilot test was conducted on a prominent office building's rooftop in Nanterre, where Bouygues Construction implemented 800 square meters of EcoLithe's advanced floor slabs.

Impact & Result

- Achieved a CO2 reduction of approximately 12 tons by using our slabs instead of traditional concrete.
- Recycled 5.6 tons of waste, converting them into durable products.
- Maintained cost-effectiveness while significantly enhancing worker safety and efficiency with lightweight, easy-to-install materials, particularly for rooftop installations.

Solution Spotlight

EcoLithe is an alternative to concrete and stone. It is made from demolition debris and recycled plastics that have no outlet in traditional recycling processes. EcoLithe uses no natural resources, not a single drop of water and allow for 95% carbon emissions savings compared to the fabrication of concrete. EcoLithe is made in France, with local recycled resources. It can be shaped to many applications. Our first product is a floor slab, 3x lighter than concrete and 2x stronger. It is durable, easy to install and to clean and it requires no maintenance or treatment during its life cycle. EcoLithe is also 100% recyclable; by giving a financial incentive to our clients, we make sure that old EcoLithe products come back to our factory to be turned into fresh EcoLithe.
