Earthbuilt® A Technology for
Our Times.
Earthbuilt® holds a hose when the world is burning
There is an natural, economic and social disaster of our own making that’s unfolding – it’s caused by Ultra-Processed Construction Materials (UPCMs). Here’s how Earthbuilt® will reverse these harms.
An Example: Bricks (just one of many UPCMs) produce 92% the world’s stationary black carbon, much of which settles in the world’s glaciers and poles. This causes direct ice melt and contributes directly to disasters such as the 2022 floods in Pakistan. Their production produces as much as 40% of the brick’s mass in CO2e emissions (and there are 30,050 bn bricks are fired each year.) But even the best gas-fired kilns produce 23% of their mass in carbon gas
Earthbuilt® Turns waste into high-value, low-cost, low carbon buildings.
Earthbuilt® is an infrastructure-scaled 3D printer that transforms particulates like crushed building waste or earth into high-quality structures like walls and roads, without adding cost or carbon with glues, cement or heat. reducing financial and environmental costs to nearly zero. It’s fast, and semi-autonomous, so it takes the risk out of building too. It will benefit everyone, because it saves money, cleans the environment and increases productivity while creating better structures.
What Earthbuilt® does for us and the planet
Cut greenhouse Gas
Each Earthbuilt® means serious climate impact. Ultra Processed Construction Materials are responsible for 20% of the world’s carbon gas emissions. But Earthbuilt™ aims to replace these and save billions of tons of CO2. Each Earthbuilt® machine will displace about 60 tons of CO2/year, reuse about 180 tons of landfill and save the costs of the purchase and laying costs of about 200,000 bricks (5 medium-sized homes).
Save the glaciers and polar ice
30,050 Billion clay bricks are fired each year, most in primitive brick factories that produce in excess of 92% of the world’s black carbon. Carbon particulates are heat-absorbent and conductive, so they heat the atmosphere and settle wherever the wind blows, causing ice melt of the world’s remaining glaciers, contributing directly to disasters such as the 2022 floods in Pakistan. In contrast, Earthbuilt® produces no carbon particulates.
House all of humanity
By 2025, 1.6 billion people are expected to be affected by a global housing shortage. Earthbuilt® will significantly lower the price of residential housing, making it more affordable for everyone – even the world’s poor.
Earthbuilt® - The Building
Technology for Our Times.
Earthbuilt® is fireproof and always ready.
Earthbuilt® is fireproof and is rated for Australia’s highest specification for fire zone construction. But it’s not just for building safe houses. The technology can be used to create kilometres of vertical firebreaks to prevent the spread of fire in the first place.
Earthbuilt is earthquake proof.
Earthbuilt® is far more ductile than brick or concrete. When shaken Earthbuilt® self-heals rather than cracks. Hand-built versions have been tested for more than 2 decades on one of California’s worst fault lines and have been found to over-perform for earthquake resistance by 100%.
Roll out Earthbuilt® as waters rise
Earthbuilt® is cheap and fast enough to roll out as riverbanks and levies are threatening to breach. The technology can also be specified to biodegrade so it leaves no non-organic footprint. It can contain seed, to grow and hold a river’s edges as the organic Earthbuilt® turns to soil.
Delivering
the Future
Imagine a home that’s like any others in the street – but unlike all the rest, it is the only one to survive a wildfire, an earthquake and a flood without serious damage. The home is also built with revolutionary technology that’s almost 0-Carbon, and… It cost only a fraction of any of the alternatives.
We’re talking Earthbuilt®.
