The material

Two ways to cut the carbon — in one product.

Conventional precast concrete depends on carbon-intensive Portland clinker. Our materials attack the problem from both ends, using a mineral that is abundant in the EU.

01 — Avoid

Replace clinker with opoka

Opoka is a Lithuanian siliceous-calcitic sedimentary rock rich in reactive amorphous silica and calcite. Substituting part of the clinker cuts the largest source of embodied carbon and keeps the supply chain inside the EU.

02 — Store

Mineralise CO₂ during curing

Products are cured in a CO₂ atmosphere. Calcium-bearing phases react with the gas and bind it permanently as solid calcium carbonate — densifying the material while storing carbon for good, not temporarily.

Avoided clinker emissions and stored CO₂ are always reported separately — never double-counted.

Materials & products

A family of low-carbon mineral elements.

From a flagship fibre-cement façade board to pressed precast, every line shares the same opoka-and-CO₂ chemistry.

CarbonLock — the process

From local stone to a carbon-storing product.

CarbonLock is our R&D programme taking opoka-based carbonation from the laboratory to repeatable pilot manufacturing.

Step 01

Blend

Opoka, reduced-clinker binder and EU-sourced basalt fibre are proportioned to a controlled recipe.

Step 02

Form

The mix is pressed or cast into pavers, slabs and thin façade boards under controlled compaction.

Step 03

Carbonate

Units cure in a CO₂ chamber; calcium phases mineralise the gas as stable calcite within the matrix.

Step 04

Validate

Strength, durability and a third-party ISO 14040/44 life-cycle assessment confirm performance and carbon balance.

Maturity Advancing TRL 5–6 → 7 · lab to operational pilot
Sustainability

Claims we can stand behind.

/01

Lower embodied carbon

Reduced clinker plus mineralised CO₂, targeting a verified cradle-to-gate reduction against a conventional reference product.

/02

Permanent carbon storage

CO₂ is chemically bound as calcium carbonate — locked into the stone, not released over time.

/03

EU-sourced raw materials

Lithuanian opoka and EU basalt fibre reduce dependence on imported supplementary materials.

/04

Non-combustible & recyclable

A mineral matrix means A2-class fire behaviour for façades and inert, recyclable material at end of life.

Company

A Lithuanian materials manufacturer, since 2012.

Ecostone Solutions designs, develops and manufactures advanced mineral building materials. We work as a single accountable SME, buying specialist testing, characterisation and life-cycle analysis as external services.
