UK Firm Develops Eco-Bricks That Absorb and Store Carbon
A Sheffield-based start-up, earth4Earth, has developed eco-friendly bricks that absorb and permanently store carbon dioxide, aiming to reduce the construction industry's environmental impact. The bricks are made using soil from construction sites and a new room-temperature lime process, with plans to move production to the UK to lower carbon emissions. Experts support the innovation but emphasize the need for proof of durability and widespread adoption to truly mitigate construction-related pollution.
