An Israeli environmental startup has developed a technology to address one of the world’s least sexy problems bringing concrete to life by using a special cement structure that invites marine fauna to grow on coastal infrastructure.
“Our admix is like the salt and pepper to a recipe,” ECOncrete CEO Ido Sella told
The Algemeiner. “It is a chemical modification of the composition of concrete for a better, more balanced biology and to make it more hospitable to marine life.”
About half of the world’s population lives along a coastline with bridges, ports and seawalls, which are mostly built with concrete threatening to destroy marine life. The technology developed by the Tel Aviv-based ECOncrete, launched in 2012, turns concrete into a new substance with materials that are plant and animal-friendly. The products are designed with tiny holes for small fish to live in and on top of which seaweed can grow, while corals and oysters appear around it once put into water so

We want to make a change to the world and marine life by working with industry and a science-proven technology.”
The development of eco-friendly techniques has become more pressing as commercial concrete has become the most consumed material in the world, after water. Most marine infrastructures such as breakwaters, seawalls, and piers are made from the same conventional concrete, which is disrupting and damaging the ecosystems that support thriving oceans. Concrete accounts for about 70% of coastal and marine construction but its chemical properties are damaging to marine flora and fa
