Enzymatic
Enzymatic.io develops enzyme-based additives that make concrete more durable, corrosion-resistant, and environmentally friendly. Their EC3 permeability reducer requires only a tiny powder dose to create crystalline additives in real time, while their Enzymatic Construction Material (ECM) consumes 115 lbs of CO2 per cubic yard—a carbon-negative alternative to traditional cement. The company also offers an enzymatic corrosion inhibitor that quadruples concrete lifespan and a recycling technology that breaks down cement bonds for reuse.

Problem
Traditional concrete production is a major source of carbon emissions, emitting roughly 400 lbs of CO2 per cubic yard. Additionally, conventional concrete is prone to corrosion and degradation over time, requiring frequent repairs and replacements that further strain environmental and economic resources. Existing crystalline additives are inefficient, requiring up to 40 lbs of product per cubic yard and failing to absorb atmospheric CO2.
Solution
Enzymatic.io combines the world's most consumed man-made material with the world's fastest known enzymes to create environmentally-friendly construction products. Their EC3 permeability reducer uses a catalyst that generates crystalline additives in real time, requiring only a powder amount equivalent to a couple drops of water per cubic yard. The company's Enzymatic Construction Material (ECM) is a carbon-negative, self-healing alternative to cement that consumes 115 lbs of CO2 per cubic yard while achieving an MPA of 30 (approximately 4350 psi), making it viable for warehouses, factories, driveways, patios, sidewalks, roof tiles, stucco, and load-bearing blocks. Enzymatic also offers an Enzymatic Corrosion Inhibitor (ECI) that increases concrete lifespan by four times while sequestering CO2, and an Enzymatic Concrete Recycling (ECR) technology that breaks down CSH bonds in cement, allowing old debris to be remade into new cement.
Target Audience
Primary customers are cement manufacturers, concrete producers, and construction material companies seeking low-carbon alternatives, as well as infrastructure developers and contractors focused on sustainable building practices.
