About Us

Waste today, product tomorrow

Carbon Upcycling is a waste and carbon utilization company unlocking a new frontier of circular materials. We’re tackling the biggest problems on the planet—like climate change and industrial waste. With our patented technology platform, we help the hard-to-decarbonize industry transform local industrial byproducts and natural materials into superior additives.

Our first massive market is cement and concrete, the source of eight percent of global CO2 emissions and growing. Our technology sequesters industrial CO2, reduces the carbon footprint of cement, and improves concrete performance. We do this by opening up a new class of locally available, carbon-sequestering cement replacements.

With Carbon Upcycling, cement and concrete producers can now create a superior product using local industrial byproducts and natural materials and save the planet at the same time.

Concrete

Creating Low Carbon Concrete Innovation

Our technology platform unlocks new advances in strength and durability for today’s cement replacements. By permanently storing CO2 in industrial byproducts and natural materials—from coal plants, glass manufacturing, mine sites, and more—we are improving performance and lower emissions of concrete. Our improvements in performance are third-party validated, too.

Advanced Materials

Superior Performance from CO2 and Waste

The advanced materials industry is inherently a fossil fuel industry. About 99% of all advanced materials are derived from fossil fuel byproducts today. At Carbon Upcycling we’re changing that. Our technology platform sequesters CO2 inside advanced materials while simultaneously improving their performance. We’re working with advanced materials manufacturers and consumer package goods companies to revolutionize this industry for the carbon age.
