The construction industry is one of the largest and rapidly growing industries at the national as well as international level. The production of construction materials is mainly responsible for Carbon emissions globally. Geopolymers have all required properties to use as construction applications with minimum emissions and energy required for production.

The Paris climate agreement has motivated global industries to shift towards sustainable alternatives. However, the construction industry lags in this endeavor. It uses cement and bricks that produce large amounts of co2 emissions and hence, causes global warming. Moreover, our brick industry not only destroys our climate by producing nearly half of our total co2 emissions but also enslaves more than 5 million bonded laborers including young children and women. These laborers girls undergo forced marriages, over torture, and rapes. Enslaving such a large part of our own population hardly sounds like a successful recipe for a country to develop. Ecostabilizer aims to transform this energy-hogging and ruthless construction industry into a sustainable and human-friendly industry. We do this by producing self-healing construction blocks with zero carbon footprint that will replace conventional construction materials like bricks and cement.
