By reducing carbon emissions from production, while also finding new raw materials that are carbon-neutral, the Bio-Brick is tackling two problems at once.
The Bio-Brick is an innovation born out of MicroBuild Masonry – a start-up created by two University of Waterloo students, Adrian Simone and Rania Al-Sheikhly – after Simone was inspired by his co-op work term on a construction site.
Simone is now working on a process to form the brick into masonry units with the same strength and durability as regular bricks with the goal of making the manufacturing process completely sustainable.
