Topic 3 – Efficient and effective use of raw materials in design and production
KYK Construction Chemicals is looking for partners to develop innovative geopolymer binder systems based on secondary mineral and inorganic waste streams for sustainable construction chemicals.
We are interested in collaborative projects focusing on:
Resource-efficient construction materials
Geopolymer binders from secondary raw materials
Valorisation of industrial and mineral waste streams (e.g. marble waste, ceramic waste, municipal ash and bio-based residues)
Circular economy solutions for construction products
Low-carbon cement alternatives
Industrial validation and pilot-scale demonstration
Advanced material characterisation and durability assessment
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and sustainability assessment
Digital process optimisation and AI-assisted formulation development
Scale-up and market uptake of innovative construction materials
We are seeking collaboration with universities, research organisations, raw material suppliers, recycling companies, technology providers and industrial partners to jointly develop and validate circular construction materials with high industrial impact.
