the biochemical phenomenon of precipitating minerals occurs when oyster and coral produce mineral glue to attach themselves to rocks and to grow their reefs. This material is incredibly durable, resisting wave energy and corrosive salt water.

we empower nature to do what it does best: to grow durable materials without depleting limited resources.
we utilize plant enzymes to catalyze the growth of nature’s mineral glue, resulting in marine-safe material that can be produced in situ without heat, energy, or resource depletion: by-passing the petroleum economy in cement production.
by mimicking the chemical composition and microstructure of shell and reef material, we’re creating a cement with the capacity to heal nature while enduring in it’s most severe environment. early field results indicate that nature-grown cements enhance biodiversity growth.
