ECOncrete’s technology has been highlighted in the latest white paper published by the leading engineering services and consulting firm, Jacobs, in collaboration with Biomimicry 3.8, a biology-inspired consulting company.
The white paper details the industry shift from sustainability to the proactive and innovative approach of regeneration and regenerative design. The core theme remains the same: harnessing the power of nature to improve our infrastructure, cities and marine ecosystems. The first generation focused on environmentally conscientious construction, with little or no attention paid to interaction with the environment.
Executive Summary
Full Report
The updated, regenerative design-approach views nature as an ally, and a resource that we can collaborate with. ECOncrete works in tandem with this vision to create materials that encourage biological development from the moment they are installed in a particular biosphere.
As regenerative design continues to improve, it is important to thoroughly analyze data to evaluate the success both structurally and environmentally. Installations by ECOncrete are already demonstrating success around the world. These installations, such as our marine cable protection in Fuerteventura, Spain, have been proven to work practically, while displaying biodiversity. The scientific data continues to be collected and analyzed with very positive results. We continue to be the vanguard for advancing marine construction and habitat regeneration.
