Conclusion
The completion of the Colorado EdenCrete® production scale-up represents a major milestone in Eden’s US EdenCrete® concrete admixture project, delivering the expanded production capability to considerably expand the market penetration of EdenCrete®, which is a key step to Eden achieving its longer-term goals of broad penetration by EdenCrete® into the huge US concrete and infrastructure markets.
BACKGROUND
EdenCrete ® is Eden’s 100% owned, proprietary carbon-strengthened concrete additive, one of the primary target markets for which is improving the performance of concrete used in the construction and maintenance of concrete roads, bridges and other infrastructure. Additionally, it has potential for use in a range of other concrete applications including highrise building construction, marine and coastal applications, water storage and pipelines, and pre-fabricated concrete structures and products.
