What is the problem?

The use of cement accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions every year, a lot of which is attributable to the concrete making process.

What is the Solution?

Hyperion offers a new way to produce more sustainable and optimized industrial grade construction elements with recycled components from different waste streams such as end-of-cycle materials from the wood and steel industries. Throught employing 3D printing in the creation of customized concrete structures, their solution is cheaper, faster, and has better concrete reinforcement structures. A crucial element is the fact that the firm only uses circular and recycled materials and reduced material waste in the production process.
