LET’S BUILD THE FUTURE

the construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global pollution, with high carbon emissions and significant waste generation. to put this into scale, here are some figures with respect to the construction sector's impact on the climate crisis:

“65% of global solid waste comes from construction, while in Germany alone, it is 55%.”
— Waste Management in Germany 2023, BMUV
“construction accounts for 38% of global carbon emissions.”
— Dezeen
“over 50% of all raw materials extracted from the earth are used for construction. ”
— EU Circular Talks
“the cement industries as binder materials, produces 1.6 billion metric tons’ CO₂ in 2022.”
— Journal of CO₂ Utilization

mission

our mission is to revolutionize the construction industry by advancing sustainable materials and large-scale 3D printing technologies.

we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of building processes by offering eco-friendly alternatives that are efficient, flexible, and sustainable.

through strategic partnerships and innovative solutions, we aim to create a circular economy in construction, driving a future where materials are reused, waste is minimized, and buildings are environmentally responsible.

technology

our technology leverages large-scale 3D printing with robotic systems to create complex, sustainable structures with unmatched precision and speed.

by using robots in the printing process, we can efficiently build intricate designs and structures, almost eliminating material waste and speeding up construction times, working on and off-site.

this innovative approach allows us to work with sustainable materials like Willowpaste, enabling the creation of eco-friendly, customized buildings while minimizing environmental impact.

material

willowpaste is a 100% sustainable building material made from renewable resources, designed to offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional construction materials.

this innovative paste is mainly composed by wood fibers and it can be easily recycled or composted after its lifecycle, ensuring zero waste and contributing to a circular economy in construction.

by combining sustainability with performance, Willowpaste enables faster, more flexible construction processes while minimizing the environmental footprint of building projects.

vision

our vision is to transform the construction industry into a more sustainable, efficient, and innovative sector, where eco-friendly materials and technologies shape the future of building.

we aim to lead the way in creating a world where construction no longer contributes to environmental harm but instead drives positive change and sustainability.
