Cyalith is a sustainable bio-based alternative to decorative ceramic tiles. Cyalith has a bioinspired structure akin to seashells, being comprised of over 90% naturally occurring calcium carbonate and a biopolymer binder. The biopolymer is obtained from photosynthetic algae (blue spirulina), and can be sustainably sourced as a byproduct from 3rd generation biofuels production.

Eralith is a sustainable bio-based alternative to decorative ceramic wall tiles made from over 98% recycled plaster (gypsum) along with a plant-derived binder.

Fabalith is a sustainable bio-based alternative to decorative ceramic tiles. It has a bioinspired structure akin to seashells, being comprised of over 90% naturally occurring calcium carbonate and a biopolymer binder. The biopolymer is obtained from aquafaba - the remaining broth after cooking chickpeas or other legumes.

StarCrete is a sustainable bio-based alternative to concrete with a substantially lower CO2 footprint. StarCrete is made from sand and other mineral aggregates bonded together by potato starch.
