CRIATERRA Earth Technologies

The Problem:

40% of global energy consumption and 33% of global waste are from construction. Wasteful manufacturing processes are costing billions of dollars and critical natural raw materials losses.

Criaterra’s Solution:

CRIATERRA is introducing a paradigm shift. Until today construction materials incinerate natural resources into products that eventually become waste. CRIATERRA has created a circular material economy, in which all materials are re-usable and\or perishable, preserving the economic value of our natural resources forever.

CRIATERRA’s products represent the next-generation of composite building solutions. They are made from 100% natural elements, are scientifically designed to enable a wide range of prefabricated applications including building blocks, wall tiles and many other products, all in mass production. CRIATERRA brings unique value in our proprietary combination of structurally strong materials that are deeply sustainable. Our products are also exceptionally thermal resistant, and our novel algorithm enables adapting our technology to any location globally.

Global concrete block market was 1,837B units in 2016. Manufacture of cement results in 6% of global GHG emissions = 2gigaton. Our contribution to emission reduction in 5 years: 10000TON of GHG and:

- 90% energy, 99% emission reduction for every CRIATERRA block

- Saving mountains - 70% of our mixture is quarrying waste = in the EU yearly 734M ton  - Unique algorithm allows local production for local use - Our products are not altered chemically = Our Debris is a nutrient instead of poison.

CRIATERRA develops eco-innovative building products that are as strong as concrete, six times more thermal resistant and yet create only 5% of its environmental imprint while saving up to 90% on the energy manufacturing bill.

In a reality of 40% of global energy consumption and 33% of global waste from construction that represents a total disregard for the growing trends of green construction ($523B in 2026), CRIATERRA is creating a revolution in mineral-based material solutions (clay and cement) just like bio-plastics are transforming the plastic industry.

Our novel composite building products are made from 100% natural elements (non-soluble minerals and vegetal fibres) and are scientifically designed to perform in a wide range of prefabricated construction applications. CRIATERRA’s UVP is the novel combination of structurally strong materials deeply sustainable and exceptionally thermal resistant.

CRIATERRA’s novel CIRCULAR Earth Technology is:

• 100% natural 100% degradable +recyclable
• Applies up to 70% recycled ingredients
• 90-100% of construction concrete strength
• 5% energy, 1% emissions compared to concrete
• 6 times more thermal resistance than concrete
• Designed in a novel algorithm that enables adapting the technology to any production location globally.

CRIATERRA's mission is to become a leader in developing and supplying the next-generation of deeply sustainable materials and products for the green building industry (GBI). Driven by a deep understanding of the value of a circular product economy, we have developed CRIATERRA’s eco-innovative structural composite materials as well as resource-optimized production processes, offering effective and impactful alternatives to the damaging and polluting conventional building materials and practices described above.

Our vision of a circular economy has resulted in technologies that keep the economic value of natural resources forever. Unlike ceramics or cement in which natural resources are incinerated to become matter that lost its natural properties and eventually becomes problematic waste, CRIATERRA’s sustainable manufacturing process creates compacted ‘living’ products that may return to earth as nutrients towards their next productive cycle.

CRIATERRA’s material mixtures can incorporate up to 70% of natural material waste of conventional infrastructure construction (e.g. unused quarrying surpluses) and agricultural processes (e.g., trees trimmed foliage). If not utilized by CRIATERRA, these natural material rejects will be considered and treated as waste.

We introduce price competitive high-quality materials with 90% energy savings compared to ceramics and 92% GHG savings compared to cement to contribute to the low-carbon and green economy.

CRIATERRA’s unique composite material building products are made from 100% natural elements (non-soluble minerals and vegetal fibres). CRIATERRA's solution is completely natural, fully degradable, fully recycled, and extremely ecological with high strength products.

The combination of material intelligence and the eco-innovative manufacturing process creates "living" products that are not altered in their chemical structure compared to their raw material structure. This preserves the ability of CRIATERRA’s products to degrade biotically (by bacteria, insects, enzymes, etc.) or abiotically (by sun radiation, water erosion, temperature exposure, etc.) in natural environments. The materials can be reused or fully recycled without damaging the properties or be dumped in agricultural soil with no harmful effect. This quality does not compromise the durability of CRIATERRA’s products. They meet all of the strictest regulatory requirements for all strength and durability parameters.
