About
We create sustainable construction material by transforming construction and agricultural waste (such as corn stover and bean pods) into innovative building supplies. Inspired by the construction industry's environmental challenges, our co-founders pursued complementary approaches. Adrian Simone sought to replace traditional, carbon-intensive materials like bricks, stone, and concrete with a more sustainable alternative. Daniel Gonzalez focused on product development and identified agricultural by-products as a promising source of raw materials. By utilizing these natural wastes, he aimed to reduce costs, support local farmers, and minimize the environmental footprint of construction. With these goals in mind, we have manufactured the Bio-Gel Composite building material.
Our commitment to resource efficiency and innovative solutions supports the vision of a more sustainable construction industry.
