Gwilen

Innovative marine material and low carbon

Gwilen transforms marine sediments into building materials through an innovative process, inspired by diagenesis and which does not require high temperature cooking. With the aim of developing new alternatives to traditional and more environmentally friendly building materials, this Brestian society works on two fundamental aspects:

- the resource already available, the harbour sediments

- energy, thanks to a process without high temperature cooking that saves energy and limits CO2 emissions

Marine sediment

Low-carbon construction material from marine harbour dredging sediments transformed by an innovative process inspired by diagenesis. 100% mineral, without cement or resin, it lends itself to the production of tailor-made and sustainable projects.
