For too long, the construction industry has been seen as a significant consumer of virgin resources and a generator of waste. But imagine a world where every piece of demolition waste isn't just discarded, but is instead seen as a valuable resource, ready to be reintegrated into new projects. The good news, it's happening right now, most powerfully through the recovery and reuse of aggregates, particularly recycled concrete aggregates.

For those who aren't familiar, 3D printing in construction, also known as additive manufacturing, involves using a specialised printer to build structures layer by layer, directly from a digital model. Imagine a giant robot squirting out concrete, creating walls, columns, and even entire buildings! The primary methods include extrusion (typically of concrete or cement), powder bonding, and additive welding (for metals). It sounds like something futuristic , but it's already h

Traditional materials like brick, while offering durability, can be limited in terms of design flexibility and often require significant supporting structures. Concrete, while strong, can be heavy and prone to cracking. Even timber, when not properly treated, can succumb to the UK’s damp conditions. These limitations drive up costs in the long run and often restrict architectural vision. But the good news is, the industry is waking up, and innovation is booming.

Jesmonite is a sustainable building material revolutionising construction. Its low-impact production, recyclability & durability make it ideal for eco-conscious architects. Jesmonite offers versatility & aesthetic appeal from facades to sculptures.
