Architects Besley & Spresser have partnered with Rotterdam-based material scientists Asbeter and ceramicist Benedetta Pompilli to turn asbestos waste into carbon-negative architectural materials. By recrystallizing asbestos into stable silicates, the process creates safe, tactile elements for cement replacement and mineral additives.

Residuos de asbesto se transforman en materiales constructivos negativos en carbono

DESIGNBOOM

Los arquitectos Besley y Spresser colaboran con los científicos de materiales Asbeter y la ceramista Benedetta Pompilli para convertir residuos de asbesto en materiales arquitectónicos con balance negativo de carbono. El asbesto se recristaliza en silicatos estables, seguros y utilizables como sustitutos del cemento o aditivos minerales.

A recent Carbon Brief study shows China’s carbon dioxide emissions have remained unchanged or declined for 18 straight months, thanks in part to a surge in solar (+240 GW) and wind (+61 GW) capacity and a 5% drop in transport emissions.

Scientists at TU Wien have developed a non-toxic “deep-eutectic” solvent that separates blended fabrics — like cotton-polyester mixes — within minutes. Cotton stays intact and polyester is recovered almost fully, offering a near-complete recycling method for textiles that were once nearly impossible to reclaim.

A large study shows that eating fewer animal-based foods and more plants can reduce an individual’s food-related carbon footprint by around 40-60% compared with high-meat eating patterns. It proves that you don’t have to be radical—every step toward plants counts.
