1 Brick = ~1 pound of CO2 reduction in your community
Cracking
Better Freeze Thaw = Less Cracking through the seasons
Cost
We are currently offering Carbon Core at typical brick pricing
A more durable brick over time
Carbon Core brick and pavers gain durability beyond traditional masonry as CO2 filters into the brick's pores post manufacturing. This process transforms empty pore spaces into solid limestone, resulting in superior freeze-thaw and cracking resistance.
​
​Carbon Core sequesters more carbon dioxide than is produced through the manufacturing process. A 2-kg clay brick has approximately 550g of embodied carbon, so adding 31wt.% of olivine sand per brick achieves net zero. The quantities of olivine can be increased if a project's goals exceed net zero.
Additionally, olivine also aids the drying process. All bricks and pavers exceed ASTM standards for compressive strength, water absorption, and freeze-thaw.
