Project Idea Description
Arcadia wants to help build a world where all waste shall be recycled in a safe and natural way saving tons of CO2 in the journey.
In Europe, we can save up to 80 million tons of CO2 per year, and recycling wastes.
Men used good bacteria since thousands of years ago even to produce healthy food like some types of breads, cheese, yogurt, wine, sour beer and much more. Arcadia selects and uses bacteria that are friendly to humans and the environment, to transform waste into useful products for everyone.
As the carbon clock is ticking and cement is one of the main responsible for anthropomorphic greenhouse gases, Arcadia produces natural bioconcrete and biomaterials, saving up to 80% of CO2 compared to traditional concrete.
Our future is our responsibility: let’s build it together!
Arcadia is a system for 'fossilizing' quickly (from 5 to 28 days depending on the application) and completely natural soils and organic materials and thus harden them.
To do this, we take advantage of the biological action of bacteria already present in the selected soil, which we feed ad hoc to obtain the desired effect without consequences for the ecosystem of the treated soil.
We can adjust the 'hardness' of the soil to our liking, up to similar and higher compressive strengths than concrete.
Arcadia’s scope is making materials recyclable, infinitely.
We produce building blocks and objects in a natural way, starting from waste materials and using non-pathogenic bacteria, harmless to humans and the environment.
With Arcadia, up to 80% of CO2 saving is achieved compared to the production of concrete or wood incineration.
When the Final Product, built with Arcadia process, comes at the end of its life, it is possible to crush it again and continue recycling, over and over.
Arcadia is applicable to several waste materials such as excavation, construction, wood, masonry, mine wastes, glass, paper, and, in future, to plastic and hazardous wastes (e.g.: wastes enclosing heavy metals).
Arcadia technology can be exploited for many uses, such as ground stabilization around rivers, oceans, desert dunes; building natural foundations for buildings, roads, and railways; reducing heavy metals’ leachability in polluted soil and water; space applications, and much more...
