LOW CARBON CONCRETE and ULTRA LOW CARBON CONCRETE PRODUCTS
Concrete is the second most used material on the planet and responsible for approximately 10% of global CO2 emissions.
Reducing concrete’s CO2 footprint is critical and zeolite is the solution. We have developed an alternative eco-friendly, low carbon Zeolite concrete alternative that exceeds ASTM standards, and stronger than traditional concrete made with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC).
Washington Governor Bob Ferguson Learning About Clinoptilolite Zeolite
As Governor, Bob Ferguson will support carbon reduction projects and environmental initiatives like ours. We look forward to collaborating with Bob's climate team.

Art & Science Collide
For the past two years, Zeolite Composites, LLC has been collaborating with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, along with other community scientists and partners, on a lead clean-up project in East LA where approximately 13,000 homes were built on land contaminated by the former Exide lead acid battery plant. Through this collaboration, an effective, low-cost, and scalable remediation solution for lead contamination was developed by amending the soil with natural and abundant clinoptilolite zeolite. Our zeolite quickly absorbs and permanently encapsulates lead particles that are harmful to humans, particularly young children.
Art & Science Collide
Intersections of art and science, both past and present.
On September 21, 2024, local Los Angeles artists Maru Garcia and Beatriz Jaramillo unveiled their amazing and thought-provoking artwork as part of the “Art and Science Collide” exhibit presented by the Getty. The exhibit featured the collaborations between Dr. Aaron Celestian with the Natural History Museum Los Angeles County (NHMLA), Prospering Back Yards, Zeolite Composites, and many others. The goal was to find practical solutions to the very difficult problem of lead remediation from the yards of thousands of homes in East Los Angeles. The art piece titled “Boiling Rocks 1” is a mosaic comprised of pellets made from lead contaminated soil from the yards. “Boiling Rock 2” is another mosaic showing the weblike structure of zeolite as seen under a Scanning Electron Microscope. The sculptures collectively titled “Boiling Rocks 3” are monolithic “living” zeolite sculptures designed to remediate the soil as they disintegrate on contaminated land when exposed to the natural elements. The structures are composed of compressed soil amendments (clay, mulch, soil and zeolite) and supported by a steel pole that will slowly reveal the words “Madre,” “Alive” and “Home” as the sculpture dissolves. Everyone, especially our young and growing children, deserve healthy soil. Through collaborations like this, we are working together to make that a reality.
