Topic 3 – Efficient and effective use of raw materials in design and production
KYK Construction Chemicals is looking for partners to develop innovative geopolymer and/or alkali-activated binder systems based on secondary raw materials and waste-derived resources for sustainable construction materials and construction chemicals.
We are interested in collaborative projects focusing on:
• Resource-efficient construction materials
• Geopolymer and alkali-activated binder technologies
• Valorisation of industrial and secondary raw materials
• Circular economy solutions for construction products
• Low-carbon construction materials
• 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 material 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.
