COMPANY DESCRIPTION
bioMASON employs bacteria to “grow” a durable cement in ambient temperatures between loose grains of aggregate; producing building materials without emitting greenhouse gases, and without the depletion of non-renewable resources.
PRODUCT AND SOLUTION
Biobricks made with biocements have been tested for physical strength properties by third party testing and currently reach comparable performance to traditional masonry. However, bioMASON is initially addressing large non-structural projects, and similar sub-markets that are substantial in size.
Investor since September 2013.
