Overview
Low Carbon Materials (LCM) is a climate-tech company servicing the green construction sector. Science-based and purpose-driven, LCM works closely with construction partners to develop innovative, sustainable, and carbon-negative/low-carbon building materials. LCM has won a series of awards, including The Earthshot Prize Finalist in the 'Fix Our Climate' category, in recognition of its innovative, waste-based aggregate - OSTO. LCM's flagship product, OSTO, is a carbon-negative aggregate designed to replace traditional aggregates in the production of concrete. Concrete has a significant carbon footprint, contributing 8% of CO2 emissions globally*, however, with building material innovation and new material application, this figure can be hugely reduced - concrete can be made carbon neutral by utilising LCM's OSTO in concrete mixes. The company, a spin-out from Durham University, was founded by three Ph.D. students, Dr. Natasha Boulding, Dr. Phil Buckley, and Scott Bush. Both Dr. Boulding and Mr. Bush have been recognised by Forbes 30 Under 30 2023. To find out more contact sales@lowcarbonmaterials.com
