Learning from Nature: The Biomimicry Podcast with Lily Urmann

Behind the Scenes Biomimicry: ECOncrete is Creating Sustainable Marine Ecosystems

Lily Urmann Season 4 Episode 3

Our coastlines are crucial buffer zones for climate chaos. Yet the current building strategies for concrete coastal marine construction can lead to low biodiversity, which impacts ecosystem health and water quality. ECOncrete's technology involves texture agents and molds that increase biological performance by creating a macro-surface that encourages organisms to colonize. This innovative company has implemented more than a dozen large-scale projects globally and is expanding rapidly as demand increases. By turning to nature for inspiration, we can adapt to the changing climate while also benefiting marine ecosystems globally.
