Pantheon™ is a cement alternative made from recycled post-consumer glass, utilizing a patent-pending process to remove impurities and enhance concrete strength through the formation of additional crystal structures. By replacing up to 20% of cement, Pantheon™ reduces carbon emissions by 1,000 pounds per truckload while providing a cost-effective solution that outperforms traditional materials like slag and fly ash.

Problem
The production of cement, a key component of concrete, is a significant contributor to global carbon emissions. Traditional cement replacements often lack the performance characteristics required for demanding construction applications. Furthermore, the disposal of post-consumer glass poses environmental challenges.
Solution
KLAW Industries offers Pantheon™, a partial cement replacement made from recycled post-consumer glass. Utilizing a patent-pending process, the glass is processed to remove impurities and enhance concrete strength through the formation of additional crystal structures. By replacing up to 20% of cement, Pantheon™ reduces carbon emissions associated with concrete production while providing a cost-effective alternative to materials like slag and fly ash. Pantheon™ also increases the compressive strength of concrete compared to slag when used as a drop-in replacement.
Target Audience
The primary customers are concrete producers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and material costs, as well as recyclers looking for sustainable outlets for post-consumer glass.
Features
- Utilizes a patent-pending process to remove impurities from post-consumer glass.
- Increases concrete strength by adding additional crystal structures.
- Achieves an 11% increase in compressive strength compared to slag at 28 days as a drop-in replacement.
- Reduces carbon emissions by 1,000 pounds per truckload when used as a 20% cement replacement.
- Priced competitively below slag and fly ash.
