Can carbon-negative materials clean up construction?

United States | 2020-10

A workable plastic would be a thermoplastic that you could put into a manufacturing process and press in different ways. After years of research, Cleantech Group established a prototype thermoplastic that is carbon-negative. The material is carbon-negative and depending on the ratio of binder to biochar, Cleantech Group can increase the carbon negativity. It’s also an energy-positive process as burning the plant material releases heat
