Market maturation of CleanTechBlock technology

Objectif

Clay bricks are one of the preferred building materials in Europe, but they are facing numerous threats due tightened
regulations on buildings’ energy and raw material consumption levels and CO2 emissions. These threats together with
market trends such as increasing environmental conscience, preference for green materials and an excellent clay bricks’
public image creates a major market opportunity that Gråsten Brickworks (GB) aims to pursuit through the development of
an innovative building component which will enable a paradigm change within the construction market and recycling in
Europe.
GB vision is to take the final steps of commercial and technical development and product maturation towards the
commercialization of CleanTechBlock (CTB) – a patented multifunctional sandwich-block based on the combination of two
clay brick shells and foamed recycled glass. CTB’s advantages over bricks are compelling as the insulation, strength
properties and construction price are similar and it offers: an overall increase in the living area (3-5%), a reduction in the
overall house wall construction time (5x faster), while reducing maintenance requirements and transportation costs. It also
contributes to the mitigation of environmental problems due to an increase of glass waste recycling, decrease of raw material
(clay) and energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
CLEANTECHBLOCK2 project is expected to significantly enhance the profitability and competitiveness of GB, with an
expected sales turnover of €67M and profits of €15M, 6 years after commercialization in the environmentally conscious
construction segment (both residential and non-residential) of primary targeted markets – Denmark, Sweden and Germany.
Besides giving to GB a technological leap with the consequent competitive advantage and export potential,
CLEANTECHBLOCK2 will assist Europe in achieving objectives for environmental and energy policy.
