Seeking Partners for a Project on Developing Lightweight Construction Elements from Waste Pumice Powder

About

At our company, we utilize significant amounts of pumice stones during denim washing processes. While pumice stones are commonly crushed into powder for applications in ceramics, construction, and insulation industries, the stones used in denim treatment become powdered waste after use and are collected as waste.

Through previous projects, we have successfully demonstrated and tested the feasibility of developing lightweight construction elements from this waste pumice powder. We are now looking for partners to bring this innovation to production and commercialize it.

We invite potential collaborators interested in joining forces to turn this promising solution into a market-ready product.
