OUR MISSION
TO CREATE DURABLE CEMENT REPLACEMENTS WITH PERMANENT CARBON STORAGE.
We need scalable, cost-effective ways to permanently store carbon to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. Cement and concrete are responsible for around 8% of global CO₂ emissions - nearly twice that of aviation.
Ureaka transforms waste concrete into low-carbon cement replacements with permanent carbon storage, turning one of the world’s largest sources of emissions into a durable, valuable construction material.

revolutionary technology
Partnering with the construction industry to transform waste concrete into carbon-negative cement replacements.
Performance Metrics
1. STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE AT A COMPETITIVE COST
Recovered cementitious materials demonstrate compressive strengths suitable for a wide range of structural and non-structural concrete applications, with performance continuing to improve through ongoing optimisation.
2. PERMANENT CARBON STORAGE
Each tonne of recovered material enables permanent mineral storage of CO₂ through stable carbonate formation, verified through laboratory testing and established analytical methods.
3. RESOURCE-EFFICIENT
By recovering and reformulating cementitious phases from waste concrete, Ureaka enables lighter, resource-efficient material blends that reduce transport emissions and material intensity.
4. COST-EFFECTIVE DECARBONISATION
Ureaka’s process avoids high-temperature kilns and expensive virgin inputs, enabling low-carbon cement replacement materials that are competitive with conventional SCMs as regulation tightens.
