Concretene
Concretene - graphene-enhanced concrete engineered for sustainability. A joint venture between the GEIC and UK construction firm Nationwide Engineering has resulted in a product - Concretene - that allows for reduction of up to 30% of material in concrete slab applications for the same structural performance and removal of all steel grid reinforcement. Concretene saves on material and labour cost, time on site and reduces CO2 emissions by 25-30%; video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yogj3ns3XU
