Néolithe
CLEANTECH, WASTE TRANSFORMATION
Neolithe transforms industrial waste and non-recyclable waste into mineral aggregates that can be used in the construction industry. The company markets fossilisers which, with the help of a binder, transform non-recyclable waste into Anthropocite, an aggregate that can be used as a raw material in construction. The construction industry alone is responsible for 6% of French CO₂ emissions. The company provides a concrete solution: non-polluting manufacturing, use of non-recyclable waste (vs. incineration, which is costly and polluting) while meeting the needs of the construction industry for ecological raw materials.
