The GWP of our zeolite is currently estimated to be around 2% (0.02 kg CO2 per kg of zeolite produced). This is a very small number relative to the 0.922 tons of CO2 prevented for every ton of OPC replaced with our clinoptilolite zeolite.
We are proud to be the first SCM material supplier to have a methodology accepted and listed by Climate Action Reserve (CAR)
Four Examples of High Impact Zeolite-Based Solutions that are Scalable and Cost-Effective:
1. 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 Eco-Friendly Zeolite Concrete Composite alternative to traditional concrete made with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) that meets ASTM standards for slump, compression strength, etc.

2. Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and a major contributor to global warming. Cows are responsible for about 40% of global methane emissions from belching and flatulence. Zeolite as a feed supplement can reduce methane emissions from ruminant livestock by inhibiting the microorganisms that produce methane in the rumen and subsequently reduce methane emissions.

3. There is a simple and low-cost method for cleaning up large amounts of soil contaminated with lead (Pb). We have partnered with the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles on a lead remediation project. Residential backyards in East Los Angeles are contaminated with lead from a former lead-acid battery plant.

“Once applied, the zeolite works its way into the ground where it will absorb the lead very rapidly, in about 30 seconds.”

4. Introducing the World's First Low Carbon Water Permeable Pavers! Naturally filters water back into the soil to eliminate puddling and soil erosion from rainwater runoff! Federal projects funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) require 80% of a paver's assembly be low carbon emission. Our low carbon pavers exceed the EPD criteria required by the GSA. Low carbon Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs) and low carbon Retaining Wall Blocks coming soon. Exceeds ASTM 936 standards for compressive strength, water absorption, and freeze/thaw.

As Governor, Bob Ferguson will support carbon reduction projects and environmental initiatives like ours. We look forward to collaborating with Bob's climate team.

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.
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. See the comments below for a link to an accompanying video from the event.

Water permeable pavers are considered a green building product because they can help manage rainwater, which can reduce surface runoff and recharge groundwater levels. This can help mitigate the urban heat island effect and reduce the risk of flooding in densely built-up areas. Water permeable pavers can also help prevent erosion and are a good option for regions that face water runoff and soil erosion challenges.
30 to 40 lbs. of CO2 prevented for every 30 standard CMU blocks produced. This is more than 30 times better than a leading carbon capture/sequestration technology!
