Carbon Core

The world's 1st net zero masonry units. Carbon Core brick and pavers gain durability beyond traditional masonry as CO2 is sequestered.

Stronger Buildings, Better Air

~10x carbon sequestration rate

Testing Standards (ASTM)

​The amount of CO2 reduction in 1 year is the same with:

How It Works

40 carbon core bricks 

or 1 mature 60ft oak tree

1 block of Carbon Core sidewalk

or 200 60ft oak trees

Brick Wall

Sustainable Advantages

01

Recycled Content

Zero waste manufacturing. Up to over 50% recycled content depending on grog to olivine proportions 

02

Carbon Sequestration

Every Carbon Core brick absorbs ~1 pound of atmospheric carbon dioxide 

03

Local Extraction & Manufacturing

Summit Brick Company mines and manufactures exclusively in Colorado with plants in Lakewood and Pueblo, Colorado

04

Raw Material Manufacturing

Carbon Core masonry units are composed with all natural materials: Clay, Lava Rock Sand, Grog (Recycled Fired Brick, or "Waste Brick"), and Water. 

05

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

Designing With Nature

Olivine gives Carbon Core Masonry its CO2 absorbing capabilities, it is one of the most common minerals by volume on earth, especially present in the earth's upper mantle. In gem form, Olivine is Peridot
