Product description
Agrocrete® is GreenJams’ patented carbon‑negative bio‑concrete block, engineered from crop residues like paddy straw, bagasse, and cotton stalks, bound with BINDR™, a proprietary zero‑clinker mineral binder derived from industrial slag. This patented formulation enables each block to sequester biogenic carbon captured by plants, resulting in a cradle‑to‑gate carbon footprint of –0.14 kg CO₂e per kg.
Agrocrete® blocks are load‑bearing, thermally insulating, and 30 % lighter than conventional masonry units, enabling up to 50 % reduction in construction costs and significant ease of handling for masons. They provide approximately three to 3.5 times better thermal insulation, contributing to lower indoor energy consumption. Production involves a low‑energy, low‑resource process: mixing biomass, binder, and water, casting in molds, then natural curing. Water used is nutrient‑rich and can be reused in agriculture. The blocks are stronger and more robust than traditional red clay bricks, with improved finishing and water resistance. Adopted in pilot structures, an Agrocrete® building captured 3.1 tonnes of CO₂ at one site while reducing build time from ~12 to ~4 days. The modular franchise model enables decentralized manufacturing, supports rural employment, and minimizes transport emissions. Agrocrete® is transforming construction by delivering sustainable, locally made, carbon‑negative building materials.
