ECCO Block has developed a proprietary technology for a new disruptive building material, ie: a series of interlocking, mortar-free compressed earth building blocks for the construction industry. In addition to having won several Gold Medals, including the prestigious INPEX Invention of the Year Award, early prototypes have excelled in multiple Proof-of-Concept, high-performance product testing, plus industry certifications to ASTM Standards and Green Building Initiatives. Simply put, wherever concrete blocks, wood framing, or poured concrete can be used, ECCO blocks can replace with patented products no other known wall system can match for: (1) cost efficiency; (2) superior flexural bonding, load-bearing, and monolithic shear strengths (e.g. withstood sustained wind speeds of 240+ mph); (3) green status, proven by BASF Eco-Efficiency Analysis using natural soil aggregates and mining wastes without firing, toxicity, or emissions among other quality features unique to ECCO blocks.
