How Biomason's Living Materials Are Shaping Eco-Friendly Construction

The construction industry continuously evolves, with a growing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices. Biomason, a pioneering company in the field of living building materials, is at the forefront of this movement. Their innovative approach to creating sustainable materials is revolutionizing the construction landscape. Here, we explore how Biomason's living materials shape eco-friendly construction and how Best Access Doors' sustainable products align with these practices.

Reducing Carbon Footprint

Biomason's materials significantly reduce CO2 emissions, crucial for combating climate change. Traditional cement production is responsible for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions. Biomason, however, utilizes a unique process that mimics nature's way of building with calcium carbonate, effectively reducing the carbon footprint of construction projects. Biomason says their biocementeliminates the need for high-energy processes and directs CO2 emissions by using microorganisms to grow the cement.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to lead the Biomason team. I see great promise in delivering a cost-effective alternative to traditional cement and am committed to working toward a more sustainable future," said Camilo Restrepo, the new CEO of Biomason.

Biological Processes

Biomason employs bacteria to grow to build materials through a process called microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP). This innovative method harnesses natural biological processes to create high-strength, durable materials without the environmental impact of conventional manufacturing. According to Biomason, their biocement binds carbon into stable calcium carbonate, reducing emissions and creating a more sustainable product (Biomason).

Durability

The materials produced by Biomason are not only eco-friendly but also incredibly durable. They possess high strength and longevity, making them suitable for various construction applications. This durability ensures that buildings made with Biomason's materials require less maintenance and have a longer lifespan. Reports indicate that Biomason'sbiocement matches the strength of traditional cement-based products, providing long-lasting durability and resilience (Viable Earth).

Energy Efficiency

Biomason's production process requires significantly less energy compared to traditional methods. Traditional cement manufacturing involves high temperatures and energy-intensive processes. In contrast, Biomason's method operates at ambient temperatures, drastically reducing energy consumption. This process uses far less energy than conventional cement production, making it a more sustainable choice for the construction industry.
