Sustainable materials
No chemical or thermosetting agents are used in our fabrication process and no additives are needed to achieve a good print quality
Coastruction's technology comes with freedom of material
FREEDOM OF MATERIAL
Sustainable use of natural resources
Coastruction's technology offers unparalleled material flexibility. We have the freedom to use any liquid binder with a viscosity similar to water, along with a wide range of cement and granular fill materials.
This trifecta of parameters empowers us to print an array of different recipes. We can 3D print using seawater or locally sourced fresh water, and when it comes to cement, options include limestone, various types of Portland cement, or any other available variety.
The selection of fill materials is extensive, spanning from common local aggregates like beach sand or seabed sediment to dredged materials and even recycled concrete.

WORKING ON-SITE
Using local raw materials
Sustainability for us begins with the use of natural, and ideally, local materials. We do not use chemical additives to bind our material.
For us, au naturel, works just fine.
The use of regionally extracted raw material optimizes the supply chain by shortening transportation routes and reduces harmful emissions to the environment. Subsequently it has a big positive impact on the project budget.
Lowering CO₂ impact
Global warming has strongly contributed to the reduction of coral reefs worldwide. The production of cement is the 8% cause of CO₂ pollution. It is therefore our goal to make any structures we print CO₂ neutral.
FUTURE OF OUR MATERIALS
Circularity, Sustainability, Innovation
At Coastruction, sustainability is our compass. We're committed to finding greener alternatives without sacrificing structural integrity. By pushing boundaries, we want to create a future where innovative materials are sourced and made with keeping circularity in mind.
