Geobloc — Construction

Challenge: Their mission is to create durable, environmentally friendly building materials while promoting circular economy practices.

Solution: Geobloc decided to create a PCDS to emphasize their circularity approach and position themselves as industry pioneers. By documenting the lifecycle and sustainability aspects of their raw earth brick, Geobloc demonstrates their commitment to transparency and continuous improvement. This initiative not only highlights their dedication to creating better products but also sets a precedent for others in the industry.

Results: In collaboration with Terra Matters, Geobloc has successfully completed a Product Circularity Data Sheet (PCDS) for their raw earth bricks. This achievement marks a significant milestone in showcasing the company's dedication to circularity and sustainable product development.

“We decided to do a PCDS because we felt the approach was highly professional and comprehensive. ” — Régis Bigot

Second life — Waste

Challenge: As a young company, we are experiencing different difficulties in proving our impact and sustainable model. It sometimes leads to a certain amount of reluctance towards us.

Solution: The discussion I had with Terra Matters team during the Nexus 2050 event convinced me of the vital importance of ensuring greater transparency and traceability with regard to our products.

Results: The PCDS enables us to provide accurate information, often requested by our customers, on crucial aspects such as the impact of our products, their design, their durability and their traceability

“Terra Matters, the women and men who make up your team share values of caring and humanity. We are convinced that people play a key role in ecological issues. Finally, thanks to the PCDS, I hope that a standardization of these tools will be gradually adopted, as it is essential that this becomes an essential standard in the future.” — Mamedy Diawara
