Grasscrete

As its name might indicate, grasscrete is a method of laying concrete flooring,


walkways, sidewalks, and driveways in such a manner that there are open
patterns allowing grass or other flora to grow. While this provides the benefit of
reducing concrete usage overall, there’s also another important perk —
improved stormwater absorption and drainage.

Ferrock
Ferrock is a new material being researched that uses recycled materials
including steel dust from the steel industry to create a concrete-like building
material that is even stronger than concrete. What’s more, this unique material
actually absorbs and traps carbon dioxide as part of its drying and hardening
process – making it not only less CO2 intensive than traditional concrete, but
actually carbon neutral.
