Why choose to build with Zeocrete? 

Natural plants and wood waste, when combined with magnesium binders, offer unique and extraordinary properties that stand head and shoulders above conventional building materials.

The many advantages of building with Zeocrete include superior thermal mass, temperature and noise control, strength and durability, low maintenance, fireproofing, mould and pest deterrence, as well as its aesthetic beauty and the pleasure of building with natural and environmentally sound material.

When you build with Zeocrete, you are actively capturing and storing carbon (it’s called carbon sequestration) for the life of the building. Additionally, unsealed Zeocrete surfaces will continue to draw in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

Using healthy building materials creates a healthy living environment which is great for you and all that use it. Unlike metal, concrete and plastic composite building materials, which are cold, “dead” and full of chemicals, Zeocrete creates natural, warm and toxic-free constructions.

 

 

 

 



“Grow your own home using the weeds and plants growing in your own backyard. Weed it. Mix it. Form it.” - Richard Glasser.

 

HERE’S HOW THE ZEOCRETE SYSTEM WORKS

1

SOURCE IT

Your aggregate includes readily available wood chips, sawdust and a magnesium binder. You can source wood chips from a local garden supplier or from weeds growing in your own backyard.  Your aggregate will determine the functional and aesthetic properties of your building material.

2

MIX IT

Blend and mix Zeocrete with Zeo’s easy to follow formulas and methods.

With reusable moulds and low-tech equipment, virtually anybody can successfully make Zeocrete building materials like panels, blocks, SIPs, tiles, floors, benchtops and more.

3

FORM IT

Pour the Zeocrete mixes into formwork, moulds or wall cavities.


Pack, tamper and form to establish the density and aesthetic features required. Wait a few hours, watch it cure, and remove the formwork when needed. Enjoy your great work. 

THE ADVANTAGES OF BUILDING WITH ZEOCRETE

  • Unlike Hempcrete, Zeocrete cures and is ready to use super fast.
  • Little more than low-level skills are required to make Zeocrete materials. 
  • Zeocrete materials are cheap to make (you can literally grow your own home).
  • You can use local weeds, plants or sawdust to build your next home.
  • You only need low-tech equipment and tools available at most hardware stores and co-ops. 
  • All Zeocrete building materials are 100% non-toxic and sustainable.

HISTORY OF ZEOCRETE 

Cultures throughout the world have built homes using local natural materials for millenia. 

Only since the industrial revolution have homes been mass-produced using toxic materials and composites and planned for obsolescence. 

Zeocrete was born from a deep frustration with the lack of sustainable, affordable building materials on the market. Hempcrete became popular but limited availability and long curing times forced us to create something better. 

We asked ourselves: why not use readily available local plant materials and faster acting binder?  

From this, Zeocrete was born as a pragmatic solution using age-old building principles for safe and sustainable homes and workspaces.
