Criaterra

Criaterra embodies Circular Earth Technology and was founded to re-engineer the way construction materials are manufactured. It is as strong as concrete yet 100% natural, recyclable and biodegradable. Using up to 70% upcycled content from quarry waste (stone powders), clays and plant fibres, the wall tile uses a low temperature process that reduces greenhouse gases and takes 90% less energy than conventional ceramics. Under the principle of Circular Earth Technology, Criaterra starts with 100% raw materials, even natural pigments, with up to 70% of these materials post-industrial recycled. The tile is then made with a patented process that replaces conventional high temperature firing for a 90% reduction in energy use and a 92% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Thermally efficient (600% that of concrete), Criaterra also provides energy savings in use. At the end of life, it can be recycled or degraded back into the earth as nutrients. • 100% natural • 100% recyclable • 100% biodegradable • 90% energy saving • 92% GHG emissions saving • Up to 70% upcycled • Zero-waste
