• Single Layer Drywall
• Double Layer Drywall
• Single Layer Drywall + OSB

Company: Net Zero Projects

Minimass is a family of new, patented, low-carbon, low-cost, 3D printed concrete structural elements for use in the construction of buildings and bridges.
Our first product is a concrete beam and 3D printing is used to precisely place the minimum quantity of materials – concrete in compression, steel in tension – with no waste. By doing this, we can save up to 70% of embodied carbon and up to 50% of material costs, compared to equivalent beams.

Company: Adaptavate

Adaptavate is a world leader in developing and industrialising carbon negative construction materials.

Breathaboard is a natural, high-performance, cost comparative alternative to plasterboard that has been recognised by construction industry professionals as a revolutionary innovation that could help to address the waste, resource scarcity and health of the construction sector. Breathaboard has enhanced thermal performance, reduces the risk of mould forming and it is totally compostable at the end of its life. What is more, this product is installed the same way as plasterboard but with lighter weight and to the same standards as wallboard.

Breathaplasta is performance plaster made easy and designed for healthier people, buildings, and planet. The Breathaplasta products are made of natural materials and contain zero Portland cement, zero gypsum and zero plastic. The Breathaplasta product family offers fabric first solutions that are a fast and easy way to insulate homes.
