Decarbonising cement at scale
Material Evolution develops ultra-low carbon cement using AI-driven alkali-fusion technology, which repurposes industrial waste to reduce carbon emissions by up to 85% compared to traditional cement. Operating in the UK with facilities in Wrexham and Teesside, the company is scaling production and gaining traction in non-structural cement markets.
