Materrup is a French deep-tech startup pioneering low-carbon cement for sustainable construction. Its core technology is a patented clay-based binder (MCC1®) that replaces traditional limestone cement, halving CO₂ emissions . By using uncalcined clay from local waste streams , it creates a circular production model that can be deployed regionally – a strategic advantage for Europe’s raw-material autonomy.
The company opened its first factory in 2022 and has already produced on the order of 10,000 m³ of green concrete for foundations and pavements . Materrup’s modular plants (Small Modular Cement Plants or SMCP®) are designed for rapid rollout across EU markets .
