In this episode of #GreenUP, we had the privilege of hosting Adital Ela, the driving force behind Criaterra, a company at the forefront of addressing critical challenges in building materials sustainability. 🎙️
Adital shared eye-opening insights into the traditional building industry's practices, where minerals are extracted from the ground and incinerated to achieve construction strength, leading to three major problems:
1. Carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere during this process.
2. Chemical alterations to materials hinder circularity and recovery.
3. A significant amount of energy is expended, contributing to environmental impact.
It's staggering to note that the building industry alone accounts for 40% of society's environmental footprint.
Criaterra's innovative technology, the biogeo-agglomerated stone, is a game-changer. This composite material, comprising natural ingredients, non-soluble minerals, and vegetable fibers with a proprietary binder instead of cement, not only addresses these challenges but also revolutionizes sustainability and recyclability in construction.
With its high insulation properties, Criaterra's solution is not just about sustainability but also quality, solving numerous challenges throughout a building's lifecycle.
Don't miss this enlightening episode of #GreenUP to learn how Criaterra is reshaping the building materials landscape and paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Sequestrating Carbon in the Ocean
In this episode of #GreenUP, we're thrilled to have Ori Shaashua, the Co-Founder and CPO of Gigablue, sharing their revolutionary approach to carbon capture that's making waves!
Discover how Gigablue is harnessing the incredible carbon capture potential of the ocean's natural cycles. Ori and his team saw a unique opportunity in parts of the seas that lacked phytoplankton, critical for the ocean's carbon cycle.
Their solution? They developed an ingenious particle that supercharges phytoplankton growth, boosting carbon capture to unprecedented levels!
But here's the kicker – Gigablue is putting these particles to work through regular shipping routes and container ships, unleashing a massive transformation in the role of our oceans in the race against carbon emissions.
Don't miss this episode to learn how Gigablue is turning the tides in the fight against climate change.
