ARC21: This is Copper - Studio ThusThat
The goal of This Is Copper is the development, promotion and implementation of a more sustainable alternative to ordinary cement. This project addresses both the depletion of (virgin) resources as well as the emission of greenhouse gasses by the construction sector. Copper slag, the waste by-product of the copper production, is transformed into a so called geopolymer that outperforms OPC in terms of strength and durability, yet its CO2 footprint is up to 80% lower.
