Adaptavate has just released the testing done to date on Breathaboard, its pioneering low-carbon alternative to plasterboard, confirming that it hits, and even exceeds, the wallboard industry standards. Developed over the last ten years with Adaptavate’s patented technology, Breathaboard is a drop-in solution to reduce CO2 emissions and waste in the wallboard market and the built environment.

Adaptavate’s technology intends to make low-carbon, carbon storing and carbon-negative building products available to all. The company’s first solution, Breathaboard, focuses on the wallboard category and the news today confirms its potential to go mainstream. In fact, Adaptavate is already trialling the product across UK building sites and is in talks with global and regional plasterboard manufacturers about deploying its low-carbon technology and plasterboard alternative across the globe.

Tom Robinson, founder and CEO at Adaptavate said: “This milestone is a result of the team’s hard work, and the backing we have had over the last two years from the Government and our investors. Our pilot line, commissioned successfully last year, is producing Breathaboard to the incumbent standard, with Adaptavate’s patented low-carbon technology. The announcement today confirms that Breathaboard is a validated drop-in solution for the wallboard market.”

Breathaboard has been tested by independent UKAS accredited laboratories and can be fully compliant with incumbent standard EN 520 in all performance criteria.

Breathaboard is a natural, scalable, carbon-sequestering alternative to plasterboard, with half the embodied carbon than that of its competitors. It can save up to 4kg of CO2/m2 in a market of around 13bn m2 capacity. What is more, this product is installed in the same way as plasterboard but is lighter weight. Adaptavate’s innovation can help the construction industry rapidly decarbonise without changing the way buildings are renovated or constructed.
