Neocrete
About
Redefining concrete
Neocrete is a New Zealand based business focused on making concrete sustainable.
Instead of emitting carbon into our atmosphere, imagine the buildings and infrastructure around us sequestering it. Instead of rain damaging these buildings, imagine them using the rain water to self-heal cracks. Imagine buildings as living, breathing organisms. For Neocrete this is not sci-fi fantasy, this is our business plan.
We can currently replace up to 50% of the cement in concrete – with no loss in performance, including early strength – and we're on track to completely replace cement by 2027. Concrete made with Neocrete is also more durable than conventional concrete. Neocrete is proven in projects around New Zealand and is about to start producing at scale for global pilots.

Snapshot of Neocrete
Reimagining Concrete to Cut Global Emissions by 1%
New Zealand’s Neocrete has raised US$4 million to scale its additive technology that replaces cement—a major source of CO₂ emissions in traditional concrete.
By chemically “activating” low-carbon materials like volcanic ash, Neocrete can reduce cement usage by up to 50%, maintaining concrete’s strength and durability while slashing its environmental footprint. With its first manufacturing plant set to open in mid-2024, the company is gearing up for global pilots and commercial trials across Europe, the U.S., Singapore, and India.
But there’s more to Neocrete than innovative materials. Their mission is to transform one of the world’s highest-emitting industries, targeting 1% of global emissions reductions.
Backed by Wavemaker Partners, NZ Green Investment Finance, and Icehouse Ventures, Neocrete embodies a fast-moving, impact-driven culture, fusing nano-engineering, chemistry, and real-world application to redefine construction.
For those looking to make a tangible difference in the fight against climate change, Neocrete offers an ambitious, collaborative environment where cutting-edge R&D meets industry-scale deployment. If you’re passionate about innovating for a greener future, now’s the perfect time to join this growing force.
