Japan adds CO2 to old-school debris to create stronger concrete bricks | These new concrete blocks are strong enough to build houses and pavements.


This innovative approach not only recycles waste but also helps combat climate change by capturing carbon dioxide.

Several years ago, researchers developed a new concrete type with the potential to curb greenhouse gas emissions and repurpose construction waste. The project, dubbed C4S (Calcium Carbonate Circulation System for Construction), produced initial blocks limited to just a few centimeters in size. Her work has been featured in well-known publications including Nature India, Supercluster, The Weather Channel and Astronomy magazine.
