DTE Materials is decarbonizing concrete via the aggregates which makes up ~80% of concrete volume. DTE manufactures a carbon negative bioaggregate derived from forest and agriculture residues through its Clearwash process, which makes cellulose and concrete chemistries compatible. Our flagship product, the StoneFiber block, replaces sand aggregates to make concrete products lighter weight and lower embodied carbon without compromising on cost. DTE Materials unlocks the potential for a waste fiber economy through its patented ClearWash process: https://dtematerials.com/whitepaper/$1.5M+ raised to dateWe are currently manufacturing our prototypes at scale, and will have our official ASTM certified spec sheet by Q4 2024. Our flagship product, StoneFiber, will be deployed as Concrete Masonry Units that are 30-40% lighter with 43-78% lower embodied carbon (compared to Ordinary Portland Cement) depending on the structural rating.

- Paid research on natural fiber mechanics for structural applications
